Medium foot, non X, 18 MPG mostly city. Gas mileage came down a touch when I swapped in the 3.5 differential. Car is an 05 with 65K and lightly modded.

Forgettaboutit, I like to leave em in the dust. One time I noticed a mortorcycle pull up next to me (his front tire) and without looking and the light turned green, I put my lead foot down and kicked his ***. The problem was that it was a motorcycle cop and I got a ticket. lol, I will never do that again. Lesson Learned.

I've got an 03.5 5AT sedan. It's got 152k miles and i get usually 22-25 MPG on primarily highway. If I do more city driving I usually get 18-19 mpg. The mileage really improved once I got the plenum spacer and new exhaust. Weird huh?

squarely in medium foot category, 80/20 hwy/city, got 21.0 on my last tank. Was getting a little less than that on previous tanks (avg 20.2), but I think dramatic increase in average temps where I am has contributed to slight incresases in mpg. Car is 06x.

Wow! I'm glad I posted this thread because I was worried my avg mpg would be much less since I'm a medium as well. I really like the x so if I can get about 400 miles per tank I think I'll go for it. Else where in this forum owners complain about an avg of 16-17 mpg.

05x, 16-17 mpg, 50/50 hwy/city. Depends on my mood, but lead foot 95% of the time.

I usually refill when the low fuel light comes on and she takes 15-16 gallons. So I'm between 300-320 miles when I fill back up. I might be able to get 400 on a tank as it is supposed to hold 20 gallons, but I have not pushed it nearly that close to empty. Also be sure to compare by model years, what someone gets on an 06x may not be useful in predicting what an 04 or 08 will get.

I stopped paying attention a long time ago because I've come to the conclusion that it's just bad... Sometimes less bad, sometimes more bad, but all together just bad. The only mileage i track these days anymore is how quickly I tear through tires... Now that one's a real kick in the b@lls.
