INtresting, I justreset the mog thing and I am now getting 23.9 mpg. But...that is mostly freeway, some city driving.

Thing is when I bought the car it was down at like 10 mpg or so. So the 17.3 average I had b4 the reset was being held down.

Will be intresting to see what my average is after a week has passed.

I've heard this too- from two other people that I trust- both within the last month. Been filling up with 76 ever since- but was forced to fill up with Shell last week
On the MPG thing I usually get 20-21 driving conservative around town- 17-19 if I drive aggressive. Usually 22-26 on hwy.

I'm just about to hit 3000 miles and am getting almost 23 mpg. I would put my city/highway mix at about 50/50, and most would say that I drive like an old lady.

JSN: Try using Chevron if you can get it, and keep track of the mpg very carefully. I always reset the mileage on the dash and the trip computer after I fill up. Every now and then I look at the mileage on the dash, the DTE and MPG on trip computer, and see if the numbers are lining up.

Another thing you can do is stop killing all those Mustang GTs out on the road. We all know they are no match for the Z.
