Well I've only gassed up twice...28.3 MPG with 2/3 highway driving...got 22.5 MPG last week doing all city driving, but I was revving to 4-5000 rpm also. We'll see how this week goes.

BTW...love the gas gauge. Mine is DEAD on. My Focus was so pessimistic, that the low fuel light meant I had 1/4 tank left! LMAO

i'm averaging about 27-28 mpg depending on how often my AC is on. with city only driving i get almost 27mpg. with freeway only driving, i get about 32.

~28 MPG on a auto/sportshift. Been mostly on highway with lights every mile or so and light traffic (Rt 1 in Jersey between New Brunswick and Princeton, if anyone knows what I'm talking about ). I once got 32 MPG keeping the RPMs between 2000-3000 and 60 MPH w/ no sportshift missing all the lights, and dipped to as low as 26 strictly on sportshift w higher revs on the same road.

I run the cheapest 87 I can find, and get 32.5 almost every tank.
I drive 140 miles round trip and about 50-60 of which are bumper to bumper traffic. I run my car pretty hard too, shifting pretty high and the highway speeds are about 75-80 mph.

Your gas millage will not really even out until you have around 5000 or so miles.

I avg 24-26mpg in a City/highway mix. If you drive with AC on alot it will affect your mileage.

i'm getting around 22 on my autostick with regular (87 octane?) gas. i do mostly hard city driving. I just reccently hit 6k miles and have noticed a 2-4 mpg increase.

my problem with the 4 gears is that when i get on the highway just north of 80 mph i'm revving at almost 3500 rpm......i wish i had 5 gears and a clutch

I have a manual tranny ES, and I average 29-31 with half-half city-highway. Full tank highway will get me 32-33. Full tank city only will get me 25-27.
