I avrage about 29 mpg city driving and depending on my right foot as much as 35-38 mpg hiway. It's

2.0tc=2.2. (except I put premium in my 2.0) it's just easier to get where your going with a turbo I guess lol. I avrage better in the city than did when I had my 2.2.... By a couple mpg..

Instant mileage is normally 40-45 MPG on my car at 50-60 MPH but average is less at approx 31-32 MPG.

This is exactly what I used to see when I had to drive about 65 miles round trip to work.

Although now that I work at home I don't really do anymore highway driving...at all...So my city mpgs is usually around 24 or so using the aCar app on my droid...and it sure is nice saving the miles on my car!!

I'm stuck at 22 mpg as well. My Pontiac G5 started getting better gas mileage when I hit the 30K mark. By better, I mean I was getting 29 mpg in the city instead of 28
