How much MPG do you see on average?

I usually get around 17 - 18 MPG in usual suburban driving. I haven't driven for extended amounts on a highway so I can't tell you about that, but driving back from the dealership was around 24 MPG.

I love numbers and all that so I was very happy to see a live fuel economy meter on the car's display. I always mess around with my driving style to try to get it as high as possible.

Also, I've noticed that on flat roads I get the best fuel economy around 40 - 45mph. Anybody else noticed this?

I get about 250 miles for 11-12 gallons of gas which comes to 20-22 mpg.

Haven't really calculated/looked but i'm somehow managing to get better mileage (city) than with my RSX. It had a bigger tank and obviously better gas mileage but maybe im doing better since i was constantly flooring it in it to make up for lack of power. So i guess highway is really the only place where im missing the gas mileage from the RSX. I think i averaged around 24mpg on my way from NY to VA, but i was also doing about 70-75 the whole time.

I do mainly city driving. Not much highway. From a full tank, I got about 220 miles before the low gas alarm came up.

I do mostly highway miles, I average about 26-27. The other day I decided I was gonna cruise the whole 35 mile trip at 60 mph and I got 29.5 mpg. Unbelievable! In the city I average around 17-18. General all around driving I average around 22 like the rest of you guys. I've been very pleased!
