Maybe I'm just lucky? Because I consistently get about 26-27 MPG in mixed city/hwy driving. My car has 144K miles.

i get anywhere from 17-21... it just sucks. i dont know how.
my tank gauge when filled up goes all the way just past F.. then after 50+ mile s it starts to go down. then at about 100 miles its at 3/4 tank then at 200 its at 1/2 then at around 260 or so its 1/4 tank. when on E i have about 60+ miles left before i have to fill up. i always fill up with 16.5-17.5 gal of gas at one time. today i filled up with 25 bucks @ 1.59 or so. i use 92 octane

I have a 92SE. I *ALWAYS* reset my trip meter everytime I fill it up. I'm driving 29 miles one way to work and only 4 miles out of the 29 is city. I'm getting on average of 360-370 miles per tank. It usually takes about 14 gals to fill up.
