I average around 20mpg ('03 sedan - stock & '03 coupe - Stillen intake ). On a road trip to Yosemite last week in the coupe, we managed 24mpg. Very happy with that!

Wow guys! I drive pretty spiritedly and I get 20 in the city and around 26 highway. With the blower I get around 25 highway. I had to take the blower out for 2 weeks and send it to Vortech and in the meantime I took a trip to NYC from Boston. I made it back and forth in one tank, I got 27.6mpg!!! When my gas light came on, i had driven 430 miles on that tank. I was so proud of my G!

with gas price rising..
MPG thread will come up and again..

I get 24 MPG from driving Highway and City.
The most MPG I have gotten was 33MPG.
I was basically on the highway going 65 MPH with lightly pressing the gas.
I couldn't do it for the whole tank though.. about 50 miles or so.

I probably get higher MPG because I drive on highway most of the time.

If it helps for some of the people try it.
-I don't skip gears when shifting. I go through every gear
-I always shift around 2.5k-3.0K RPM. and around 35 MPH that's when I am always in 6th gear.
-I warm up my car when my car is cold. Around 40seconds. When my idle RPM becomes 1000 then I take it out.
-My tires are always 32PSI, tire checkup every week
-Air Filter is changed every 10,000 miles
-I drive at least 30 miles everyday. So far I have put up 49000 miles
and it might be just me.. but when my car is in the garage for more than 1 week the MPG seems to be way lower than before. Like during winter, I get less MPG by difference of 4.
-Highway drive, 6th gear and seems like I get best mileage around 65MPH.
-Double clutching (I am not sure if this helps either)
-Oil is changed at 5000 miles with Mobil 1 Super Syn with extended oil life.
-I have grounding wires and borla exhaust. that's only performance mods I have.
-Oh and the tires are mich Pilot Sports (summer tire)

That's all I can think of right now..
maybe this will help someone? I donno
