I usually get between 11-12.5 mpg mostly in town and usually under 4 mile trips. Car is all stock except a catback and CAI. It doesn't matter if I'm heavy on the throttle or light, it still gets that. On the highway I'm not sure since its always been mixed city/highway.

X2 - I don't know why, but this is the case with mine as well.

The one time it was anything different was when I drove it from DC to MA when I bought it; 28mpg that trip (stone stock; now it has a CAI).

With my LE2 355 m6 3.42s and just on a base tune right now I usually get around 190-215 miles per tank. Most of the time it's 5 mile trips or less because work is close. I did take it on a 200 mile trip and got around 300ish miles to the tank cruising at 80-90 in 6th. Might change a little because dyno tune is coming up soon and I have a good reliable DD now.
