    I pretty consistently avg 24-25 mpg with mostly city driving.  When I drove to Louisville averaging 80-90 mph I cranked out 26.3 mpg and 30.4 mpg on the way back averaging 75 mph.  It's amazing what a hangover will do for your mpg's...

        I just got a new record at 22.2 mpg with the V8! I probably drive 70% highway though. Really isn't that bad but the premium gas is killer

              I filled up with premium Saturday. I am wondering how much better or worse my mileage is. With mid-grade it seems my timing was being retarded. The car feels much better now=)

                Mine is horrible, I should be getting 32-36 (used to get this on my last 99, maybe it had a better tune?), but getting around 20 right now. Good thing I drive it about 10 miles a week.
