dallas traffic on Dallas N Toll Road, for 19 miles a day, and i'm getting 25mpg.
Almost complete stop and go traffic, maybe 15%-20% crusing.

No long-distance hwy driving yet.

Modded up SS/SC.

I get about 26~28mpg City normally, but when I decide to take it easy I have been averaging 34.2mpg City. Highway I don't do much here. Back in Washington state, where I used to get on I-5 all the time, I was pulling 36~42mpg.

I can get over 100MPG!!! But i can't hit the gas at all and I have to be going down hill.

During the week I average about 29.8Mpg but have seen up to 32.4mpg if i'm on the highway a lot.

I have an 07' automatic 2.2L with no mods... yet.

i used to get bout 22 in the city and 30-34 on highway. I recently changed out my trany and engine oil to royal purple before a trip from texas to cali. I noticed right off the bat...the entire trip until i hit high terrain in calli...i was getting a constant 34-37mpg with speeds between 75-80mph
i was impressed. at one time it got up to 39. i watch mpg all the time and never seen it high on a lengthy trip.

2007 SSSC GMPP Stage 2.

23 city driving normally.

25 city if I really try to get good mileage. Unfortunately it's no fun trying to get good mileage. But 23 mpg in a large metro area is damn good for a manufacturer rated 241 HP.

My last tank netted me 25.3 actual mpg vs. the 25.9 read out. Much closer than my last tank of 23.7 / 25.3. Exact same driving style...engine seems to be getting better mileage as it breaks in. Same thing happened on my '06. First few tanks were 23-24 mpg, and after a few thousand it was up to 27+ on mixed driving. I'm about to break 1000 miles, so we'll see how it all pans out. :twothumbs

I get about 36-38 during the spring summer and fall. I've gotten as high as 44 on a flat, 20 mile trip. Turn the AC on and I get 34-37.

Winter time about the best I get is 34.

Driving around town and to school, I average about 24.5 mpg, but work traveling nets me about 40 mpg =]

Unfortunately the lack of power in the base LS kind of makes me a leadfoot ;) so certain days I get about 20 mpg ><

According to my DIC I get about 28 in town and average about 36 on the highway. Once though on a flat stretch of highway I put the car on CC at 70mph and turned off my a/c and got 42mpg. I'm anxious to see how much more mpg I can get once I get a CAI and a catback put on next year.
