Mine usually says 410-430.
I usually get 24-27 mpg normally. I have a 17 mile mostly highway commute to work (I go 80+ when I can without traffic, but there is stop-n-go traffic at this one ramp every afternoon though).
On drives to Dallas and back, I can get 30-32mpg if I go speed limit. Most times i say screw it and go 80-90+ and still get 27-28 mpg on those drives.
Overall I am very satisfied with my gas mileage. Much better than even my old 1999 4-cyl Honda Accord.
I only use 93 octane Shell Premium gas.

Just filled up and 413. I do a lot of highway driving (80 miles a day RT) Usually I am in the low 400's except for the week I was trying to see what the top speed of the car was on a late night on 55 southbound leaving the city (Chicago)

To be honest with you, I really don't remember. My wife was "yelling" at me in the passenger seat. When I bought the car, I remember reading and seeing the "Top Speed was 130 MPH". Well I don't know where they got that because I was going faster that 130 mph. That I do know. It was closer to 140
Maybe I'l give it another shot soon...I think my wife is leaving for the weekend.

363 when I filled up yesterday. That tank I drove 264 miles and pumped 10.3 gallons. I'm very happy with my MPG. When the pump stopped, I tried pumping more because I thought to myself that no way it could be done. Love it. MPG completely exceeded my expecations.
