Purchased Jan 23 2008, with 21,978 miles.
Today, May 06 2008: 25,666 miles (haha... 666...evil!)
Average mpg: 15.7 (no freeways in Anchorage... just stop-n-go mostly)
I put 1460 miles on over 5 days during a leisurely drive from L.A. to Seattle, which is where I delivered the car to a shipper for shipping to Anchorage. Car arrived in Anchorage with about 24,500 miles on April 11th.

Kudos for the miles,,my kinda guy,,buy'em to drive'em!! Mine had 55,500 when I bought it in mid Jan., it now has 57,800. Much of this waiting out crappy winter weather.I'll drive in some crappy stuff bun not when it's really bad,that's what my truck and focus are for.Going to the track tonight,weather permitting(Gateway Int. frowns on 100+ in the rain,not to mention traction off the line would kinda suck) BUY'EM AND DRIVE'EM 
UPDATE!! Just got back from the track First pass ever in this car--13.43 @ 107.63 last pass 13.08 @ 110.23 Woopie!!!!!

2000 vert, somewhere between 37,000 - 37,500. Not my daily driver, but used pretty much exclusively for all weekend and trip duties these days... ie. the number is rising rather quickly. Anyone who can buy one of these cars and not drive them has truck loads more discipline(errrr something) than I do... car seems WAY to much of a joy to let sit for me.

2001 Z06 purchased in Feb. 2006 with 18,036 miles. It now has approx. 28,000 on the clock.
I don't know what mpg I'm getting; I figured when I bought it that if I was worried about gas mileage, I shouldn't be buying it in the first place.
I just stomp the pedal and smile.
