Post Your MPG

I'm just wondering what everybody is getting. I have a feeling somethin isn't right with my car. I changed the spark plugs and wires (Autolite Double Platinum plugs and OEM wires) and the air filter is just fine. I ran through some fuel system cleaner and I use 93 octane Mobil gas. I don't drive it hard (usually), and my miles are probably 80% highway.

I'm getting about 23 MPG. Is this very good for a N/T in good condition?
I know some of your turbo fellas are gettin atleast that. Let me know. Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: Post Your MPG

I usually get about 32ish on the highway, but stop and go/traffic rapes my gas mileage.

Re: Post Your MPG

I get around 21-23 *street* per gallon on hard driving and around 28 *street* on soft grandma style driving. prolly around 35 on highways. I had 30 mpg once on hard driving after cleaning my air intake filter and replaceing the oil filter.

I have a GST and I get anywhere from 20 to 30 mpg, depending on how much I get on it.

I don't burn a drop of oil, keep up on maintainance like a mofo, and have never had above 30mpg at 93 octane. Shit is expensive. I have a 200k+ Ford that gets better gas mileage, lol.
