I've never broken it down to city/hwy but with 4:10 gears mine will run 300 miles on a tank.

So far the worst I've ever gotten is 18 and the best was 25. Just about every fill up is 21-23 no matter what I do. That includes racing and highway.

I do almost all city driving. I'm only getting about 215 to 220 miles a tank. I have everything stock. The only mod I have is the lid(SLP lid) on my SS.
