-Cars are geared to get best gas mileage at 65mph.
-Cruise control will manage throttle most efficiently.
-Gentle uphills will hurt gas mileage more than you think.
-Turning off A/C will help gas mileage more than you think.
-If you run OEM air filter, change it every 10-15K miles.

G-Thirty-Five... sounds like you're going through the same disappointing low mileage that I experienced when my car was newer.

It's hard to get good mileage with the weak gas here in California. I usually get around 16mpg (80% city, 20% highway). I once got ~22mpg going down to San Diego and back (with some city driving added on).

BTW...if anyone knows a way to "boost" the Cali gas w/o paying for 110 octane race gas, let me know

In combination driving and "granny" shifting, I got 24.5. Road trips yield about 26. Regular average is about 20.5

Hmm. Averaged 28 MPG during a 3000 mile trip from Corpus Christi, Texas, to Whidbey Island, Washington. Even through the mountains. 5AT. So much for the 6MT theory. You can have it both ways.
