I get 20-22mpg. 40% highway 60% city driving. Remember to reset your avg mpg everytime you fill up.

I usually get around 23.75 if I keep my foot out of the throttle on 93 octane and on the highway running around 69. If I bump it up to 75, it goes to around 22.

I never trust the computer dash indicator. Tonight, it showed 20.9 and I hand-figured it at 22.5.

BTW, mine is a 2005 GXP
