Gas Mileage
At ~4000 miles, I'm getting 25 mpg with about 65% highway driving. In a recent trip down to Williamsburg, I got 29.6 mpg down, and 26.x back up. The mileage has gotten better as the engine is breaking in.
My stats show a range of 18 to 31 mpg. Biggest factor is time of year and average distance I drive. In the winter, driving to work (about 4 miles), efficiency drops a lot. In the summer, on the highway, it's great. But with mostly city driving, I'm usually in the 20-24 range.
I usually fill up once there are no more bars (gas light comes on). I usually fill up between 10-11.5 gallons at fill up, depending on how long I drive around with no bars left. The most I have ever filled up is 11.9xx gallons. I had been driving around with no bars for a long time and had about 260+ miles on that tank of gas (all city driving).
I average 21-23mpg in the city and 25-27mpg on the highway. I usually go 240-250 miles between fill ups. Even when driving hard during a weekend of fun or what not, I still average 21-22mpg. Sometimes it amazes me that I can drive hard for an entire tank of gas and still get the same gas mileage as "normal" city driving with only a few instances of VTEC/aggressive driving.

I've been filling up with 1,2 or 3 bars left ... I like to drive hard and most of my driving so far has benn suburban streets & county roads..I have 1400 miles on MY04 and I don't think I've done better than 21mpg yet - I hope it gets better as the engine breaks in further but if it doesn't it seems a small price to pay for all the sh*ts & giggles...
