I'm getting really good gas mileage too, with 80% highway, 20% city i get 29.xx on every tank pretty much. Sometimes the tank average goes up 34-35 MPG, then the city driving brings it back down. I drive about 420 miles before the light comes on though, thats perfect for me....my old car would be near empty at around 260 miles sometimes.

count yourselves lucky. Our dollar is at par but I pay 5.28 a gallon for 91 octane up here... most of it is taxes
I just put in $40 once a week and don't look at how much I'm getting or I'd cry...

I'm getting average 26 MPG mainly City Driving (90% City and 10% Freeway)... woot! woot! 
Yay IS250!
I actually do freeway on 237/880 to work, but that is MAJOR traffic (bumper-to-bumper) for like 20 miles so it's just like driving City. If you ever driven 237 on traffic hour, you'll know what I mean.

Since the gas stations over here seem to be using the winter blends. My fuel economy dropped my 250 AWD. Since I mainly drive mixed, the city speeds is where I am getting hit more significantly as the fuel burns faster.
With mixed it used to be around 370ish and dropped gradually to around 320s but has began to go back up gradually (seems like blends are changing again).
When I go to Canada, I always refill the car along the way since I will be driving mainly freeway. At freeway speeds the winter blend hit is minimal since the needle drops to about the 3/4 mark (about the same as the normal blend if not it is a bit lower) from the last refill consistantly from about 110 miles of straight freeway driving.

I just recently purchased a 08 is250 and i'm getting the same mileage. I came from a STI and i was only getting 250 per tank tops. Gotta love the MPG of the is!
