I consistently get between 24 and 25 mpg in town, and I also noted that the trip computer calculator is very close to my calculations. I've noticed the mpg somewhat tracks the average speed; when it's around 30 mph, I get around 24 mpg, and when it's higher, I get around 25mpg. I usually shift between 2000 and 2500 most of the time. On my only trip in the car, I got 27 mpg doing between 75 and 80 most of the way.

ive experimented with this topic before.
during good weather in Chicago, driving 58-60MPH on the highway and shifting around 2000rpm and not exceeding 45mph in the city, i HAVE gotten 410 miles to a full tank. Some claim to have gotten 450 but they live in TX and CA where they claim the weather makes a diff(not sure how).

Ha, ha, you suck. I get 56 mpg driving 25 mph over the speed limit, consistently. I run red lights, drag race Mustangs, and drive w/my HUGE ***** hanging out over the doorsill so the other scumbags can be jealous! I am so cool I make myself cold! My dick is so big it makes it's own weather! YOU SUCK!

How the hell can we get 36.5 mpg on the highway? It's like you reset the meter and coasted in neutral for 15-20 seconds 
Seriously wtfbbq, I MAX out at 27.6 mpg on the highway (3 hr drive to NJ)

I've been shifting like a grandma lately and getting about 22 in the city. I've become more aware of how much I spend on gas and I just got a ticket so I'm going to cool it a bit to see how much gas I can save.
But then again I just installed the Injen intakes so I really want to step on it and hear growl
