I average 21-22 mpg thats about 40% highway/ 60% city driving with my foot outta it most of the time. When I drive like a maniac I still get 19.2-19.8 mpg. I run 93 octane most of the time. I bet if I took a long trip I could easily hit 30 + mpg. Typically I get a tad over 300 miles per tank. Not as good as my 01 MCSS (25-27 mpg) or 97 Geo Metro 1.3L 4 cylinder (32-35mpg) but I'm not complaining. I like this car much better than either one of those. And I made a little bit of $$$ off both of those cars.

Not to bring back the dead, but I cleaned my MAF, switched back to stock paper element and installed an Optima battery.
Went on a trip this past weekend, was getting 27 - 29 on the DIC, as opposed to 22 - 24 for the past two years.
Avg has gone up from 18.8 to 19.9

get some of this:

take your MAF sensor off, spray it, wait a couple minutes for it to flash dry, then put it back together... done.

Same as 06 said, I got my MAF cleaner from Auto Zone. Yes it was a K&N insert, thinking the computer reset itself when the battery was out.
Either way, the car runs a lot better now.
