Fuel Mileage. What are you getting? Cty/Hwy 5th gen 3.0

I haven't had mine long enough to determine, but City isn't looking real good judging by the fuel guage. I have a hwy trip coming up soon that'll give me a good reading.

What about you guys?

During the hotter months, I am getting about 17.5 mpg in the city (with the A/C blowing of course). Almost 95 percent of my driving is city, so that should be a pretty good idea of what I will normally get. I imagine that number will improve a bit when I am not running the A/C in the cooler months.

I have an 01 with auto. I get anywhere from 20-23 mpg in the city, but thats with letting the tranny shift at 3K or below. If i start doing WOT at every red like, it goes down the ****ta, but thats to be expected. On the highway, i can get anywhere from 25-30mpg. Depends on the weather and how long I drive for.
