I have only taken one long trip and got 27.5 mpg. Same as you guys. :) For Reading I only got 24mpg cause I did too much local driving throttle stomping.

31.5mpg over the past week of 50/50 mixed city/highway driving.

Oh, that's for the Justy, by the way. My fuel cost for this week was $9. :D

I hope you gave the person that gassed up your car a $10 bill and told him to keep the change. :D :D

I only got a scant 26.22. Probably need to go ahead and change those O2 sensors and clean my throttle body. Still, not too bad for a car with 140K at an average speed of 80 MPH. :D

There's no button on the pump's card reader for 'keep the change.' :)

That sounds about right for city mileage for an SVX. Mine gets below 20 when I drive it in town, but over 30 on freeway road trips.

man that kinda sux...oh well its worth it...out of curiosity all you folks out there with the 5 spd whats your mileage look like on city/highway???and anyone have any idea what the mileage would be with the 6spd???just curious since i see someone is very close to completeing it (sorry cant remember your name) thanks for any help...

My mileage is also not brilliant
 
Assuming we are talking US gallons and not those big buggers over the pond, I'm getting 22MPG or so on extended long drives with NO city driving and taking it easy on the pedal. Torque converter is definitely locking up.
The strange thing is it seems to use the same amount wheather I'm going easy or caning it at some obscene speed to (easily) keep up with the weiner in his FXGT corolla on those big winders.

I too have just cleaned my throttle body which was full of hard deposits and a lot of oil, sucked in from some vacume line somewhere.
My O2 sensors shouldn't be too bad as the car has only done 92K.
I've just taking out the oil soaked foam air filter that was in my car - interesting to see what happens with a dry MAF. Seem to have a bit more torque down low too.

I got 24.5 best - I let my wife drive some on the way home and she got 26.5
I drive a little faster than her but 2 mpg! Dang.

You should be getting better than that. The best I ever got in my Justy was 45MPG (US). It averages 33+
