What is your MPG?

I was just wondering what everyone else gets on their MPG (miles per gallon). I get about 16 in town (sucks) and about 22 highway.

I usually average around 22. It all depends on how bad you want to get good gas milage. A good example is a trip i took from bosotn to CT. I put the cruise on 70 and just rode the whole way home. No 70-90 blasts or anything. Very boring. But i got over 30 mpg.

If want to get good mileage, don't shift over 2k rpms either

I am not familiar with auto matic terminology. what is OD? Open Door? I would recommend that you keep the door closed to get better gas mileage.
