A better yet comparison would be total miles driven per tank. I got 500 or so miles with 95% city; tanked up 16.8 gallons. This was somewhat of a challenge. Normally I can get around ~440 per 16.8 gallons when I don't push it (at all).

are you guys actually dividing your miles by the gallons you put back in the car or are you just going by the totally useless digital display? I was all excited cause the digital display says I'm getting 25mpg but yet I'll be lucky to get 300 miles on a tank of gas, the digital display is way off.

That being said, I'm consistently 17-18 mpg with 80% highway driving.

I average ~ 22 MPG, fill-up at about about 400 miles, and put in about 18-18.5 gallons.

If your runnin stock and getting only 13 mpg something may be worng with the car, thats real bad.
I don't run my tank low, usually fill 17 gallons and get about 320-340 miles per tank with 80% city driving.

Keep in mind that the MPG display is the average as calculated since the last reset of the display. It doesn't automatically reset when you fill the tank.
So if you fill your tank and drive it hard you can't look at the MPG displayed and expect it to match up to the actual MPG calculated from the miles driven and gallons used on the next tank refill. The only way it will be close is if you reset the gauge when you gas up then check it right before you fill again.

With the Nismo CAI and Nismo Exhaust, I get 33mpg with 100% highway driving. But, this requires almost exclusive use of 6th gear, and no hard acceleration, and staying below 75mph.
Around town I average 23-26mpg
