Man, I've tried driving like a grandpa, shifting at 3k RPM, putting it in 5th and 6th at 45 MPH, mixing in as much highway driving as possible...still, I just can't get better than 16 a tank. And I'm through the break-in by 1000 miles.

you should make it lower, I am getting 19.6 and I think Im higher than many. I heard one guy getting in the 14s I thought.
for city driving tho with only 250miles, I think 19.6 is just fine.

I live in NYC and have been averaging around 14 in mixed driving and have gotten as low as 10 MPG driving in Manhattan's famous stop and go traffic. 
So for all of you who don't live in NYC, you should feel fortunate. I could only dream about 26MPG.

I noticed that as I readline my z a lot and go 0-80 numerous times each day, my MPG is a lot less than what the EPA predicted! Screw MPG!!!!!
Hey Bullish, did you ask Merrill Lynch if you could use their logo as your Avatar.

I am averaging 23-24 MPG over the last few thousand miles (after break-in). I have confirmed the trip computer's numbers by calculating based on consumption and odometer miles. Not bad at all, considering how hard I drive and the size of the engine. Not bad at all.
My car averaged 13 mph when I first got the car. I was horrible driving the stick then.
Couple weeks later and 300 miles.... at least 17mph.
I miss driving this car.. it's been in the garage alot.

With about 200 miles put on my car I've been gettting around 19avg mpg on my trip computer. I haven't actually filled up my tank yet so I havent been able to calculate it by myself.
