I've only had my '04 automatic for a week. My brother picked it up in Texas and drove it to Upstate NY for me. Since I had to reimburse him for the gas, he kept track of the odometer reading at each stop. I couldn't believe he averaged 29 mpg while driving it 80 mph on regular gas.

Yeah, I was always surprised by the mileage I got. I had a 6 speed manual rated at 26 mpg but pulled 360+ miles on a single tank (using the recommended premium though). Very fuel efficient car and I too was a leadfoot averaging around 80-95 including the occasional race here and there

2004 Automatic, odometer reading 50,150. Use for daily commuting. Commuting distance 23.5 miles of which approximately 13 miles are driven between 65 - 75 mph and 10.5 miles driven between 40 - 45 mph depending on lights (10). Averaging 28 mpg. On one long distance trip averaging between 75-80 had 29.3 mpg. Conservative driving habits when accelerating from stop, but on curvy roads I test traction capability of the Conti tires. Overall very pleased with my mpg, not pleased with paying $4.00/gal, but that's another subject!

6 spd-'07, get on it a lot, kept track for 2000 miles......= 25.8 ave. The real killer is gas with ETOH in it......vol for vol ETOH only has about 60-70% of the energy in it as does pure gas......it ups the octane rating , but kills power & MPG!!!

My 2007, I bought new in June ,just turned over 5000 miles. Driving 70-75 on highway without air on we get a legitmate 28-29 mpg. About half city, half highway 24-25. Pretty much in line with what was advertised.
Still wondering how it will do this Winter on the snow. It's so low, looks to me like it will be a really expensive snow shovel going down the road
I have to say, I had some doubts when I first bought it, now I like it more all of the time. Just wish I could turn in loose and see 150mph on speedo.
