I have the Gas Cubby App on my iphone and input all of my fill ups.
over the last 3 (12/6-3/6) months I have ageraged 16.5 mpg on 888 miles traveled last 6 months 16.64 mpg on 1313 miles traveled its obviously not my only car, thats why it only gets that many miles and the car is in need of a tune up

Re: What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?
19-20 like clockwork while doing the daily grind (50 miles/day with very diverse conditions; steep canyon rd, state highway, freeway and lastly condensed urban traffic). On long freeway trips I've always had better than 25 topping at a personal best of 32 on a blast up the coast with practically no elevation change. There's a sweet spot right around 85 where the car feels like it could run forever (your results may very, check your local traffic code for terms and conditions)

Re: What kind of mileage are you guys seeing?
18-19mpg pretty consistently. High has been 24mpg on a drive from Denver to St. Louis on REALLY crap tires.
This is with a 4.44 transmission and rear end.

I average 18mpg year round on 90 octane with mods. Moderate road rage and gratuitous passing, but also lots of coasting. Maybe 7-8% highway in 3-4 mile bursts.
