I drove to San Diego last weekend in my 350. With the cruise set at almost 80, I went 385 miles before the light came on. I filled up with 15 gallons.
My all time (I've never reset it) gas mileage is right at 24.8 mpg now. I've got about 22k on the car (maybe more - I don't want to look!)

avg 15mpg. LA gets me mad once in a while, traffic. When traffic clears I stomp on it for 2 gears. 50% of that and 50% of cruising.
I also coast when I see the upcoming light turns red and hope that it will turn green before I brake (I do this only when no cars are behind me).
I am jealous of you 20+ mpg-ers

do you guys have ethanol in your gas?? cause i live in hawaii and i believe our gas is mixed with 10% ethanol and i heard that it effects the mpg and our engine in the long (really long) run..

Yes we have ethanol up to 10%. You lose about 4% on your mileage if you have the full 10% compliment to your gasoline, since ethanol has about 2/3 the specific heat of gasoline.

How are you getting that kind of mileage?
My round trip to work and back is roughly 80 miles with 4 total combined stop. The stop sign two and from my street then the intersection to get onto the interstate.
I really want to know your secret. I get 364 before the light comes on and thats if I am being nice to the car. I AVG 26 mpg doing an average of 80 - 85 mph on the way to work. Maybe I really do need to slow down to 70 to see that type of mileage. Thats crazy.. or you gotta be driving less than 70 mph.
