My is an auto. My best is 17.7

I usually get 300~320 miles on a full 18 gallon tank with a lead foot.

Wow, no bs, I've never filled up my tank before 400 mi. There have been times it barely makes it there, and the highest I've gotten is 455 mi on one tank. Granted, a lot of that was highway, but I've never gotten less than 20mpg

20mpg here in the city of Maryland... Daily Driver. i'm guessing people are looking at their gauges? i'm doing the raw math after each fill ups... so i know exactly what i'm getting.

Dang, my first tank (and I thought I ran the car fairly hard) got me 22.5 pretty much all city, but I live in the outskirts where it's more rural, but I work in a metro area.

I expect to get 24 with normal driving.

On my latest road trip (3,500 miles in just under two weeks), my best mileage at 75 mph was 27 mpg. When I was visiting a relative in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and was doing a lot of city driving, I was able to achieve 22 mpg.

At the start of the road trip, the car had 3,700 miles on it at the start of the trip, and about 7,200 when I returned to South Dakota.

I drove from Nashville to Tampa, Florida and filled up once on the trip. When I was in Tampa I had another 75 miles or so before the need to refuel. On the first tank I got 30 and the second 28. Typically, I get 20-22 around town with some mixed interstate driving. On entirely interstate driving I get 26-30. In my case the fastest I drive is the speed limit.
