Default spinoff: What do you get for mpg?
Seemed like everyone had something to mention about their gas mileage in Pizza's new toy thread. So here's a spinoff, what do you guys get for gas mileage?

The most I got in my S^TURN SL1 was 37mpg.

Camaro around 23mpg.

I fear the effects of swapping from 2.73's to 3.42's though....

5 speed 2000 sl1 saturn, I went to Maine to visit my brother and its a 250 mile drive. When I got there and filled back up I figured out I was getting close to 42 mpg. My 96 civic dx 1.6l got low 30s before the tune up, the plugs were GARBAGE. If they are still in the trash ill take a pic. I'm surprised the car even ran.

And Id say I get high teens in the camaro. I dont drive it very gingerly. lol

Best I can get in the Formula is 23mpg driving almost all highway. City/cruising around is 14-17mpg, overall average is right around 20mpg. A4 with 3:23s, pretty much stock.

The Civic: worst tank was 38mpg, best was 58mpg.
