On normal days I'll get about 24mpg. I'll get about 20mpg or less on the Autobahn.....

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.

you should really reset your Trip odometer every time you fill up and divide that number by the gallons you put in the car. it's more accurate.

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.

does everyone wait until there are no bars left? I usually fill when I have 2 or 3 bars left.

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...
