I have high 27/low 28 mpg with mixed driving. When I'm heavy with the right foot sometimes it goes down to 25-26.

you all are lucky with your gas my balt sucks it down hard, when it is not at the dealer. i think my balt believes it is an I6 and not a 4.....

On page 2 there is an mpg thread and on page 3 there is another one similar, that is if you want more info quicker I don't know what some of you are doing to your cars but when i drive mine hard i still get 27.5+mpg with ALL city, if i combine that with highway and drive the **** out of it i usually get 30-31 and if i am on the highway cruising with the windows down at 80 sometimes kicking it up to 85-90 for shot periods....i get around 33-34mpg.

depends on the wheels. With the stockers on i've seen 45mpg on the freeway but that was once. usually 34/39 if i'm driving sanely.
