I regularly get 20-22 mpg with my 98 C5 Coupe daily driver. I drive easily, most of the time, and have a 20 mile one-way drive (with few stoplights) to work.

-I have gotten over 32 on a long trip.

Way more than little generic econo-box drivers are willing to believe when I tell them.

17 to 22 on my daily running around mixed traffic and some expressway. Best so far has been 27.8 on a run down to St. Pete' from Syracuse back in October when we bought this '98.

13-15, but I hardly ever use 6th, and i'm either in traffic, on the autobahn, or at the track

I used to get 20-22 back in the states and I have gotten over 30 on long trips.

I average 18 to 19 but it's not pure city or highway. It's a combination, to include stop signs, lights, the occasional train, a few miles of 35, 55 and 65 MPH sections. That's daily real world for me. Plus I like to hold my gears a little longer than I should just to hear the B&B PRT's

But I have run a max gas mileage test with my 99 MN6 coupe and now my 03 Z and have gotten just at 30 MPG on my 140 mile test route from my home up to Effingham and back again.
