Numbers alone don't mean anything.

What kind of driving do you do most? Stop and go? city? highway? Do you tend to have a heavy foot or are you feather footed?

I hand calculate mine after every tank 50/50 city/highway and lifetime average over the past 35K miles is a little over 24mpg.

I bought the 350 for the looks and decent hp; I don't monitor the fuel mileage one bit. LOL!

I drive about 100 miles a day mostly on the freeway also in LA.

Get about 27.5 mpg a tank.

Avg. right now at 27.1 for last 4000 miles.

Normal average mpg is 22 (city + freeway) but like other members said, it depends how you drive. Home to work is about 15 miles for me (city + freeway + traffic) but I once got 38.5 mpg when I was driving nor cal to so cal non stop and was easy on gas.

Nice!

I use to get that when my car only had 60k miles, but i still hit that once awhile. For sure going to vegas, tahoe, etc.. i can hit 29....
Can't remember how many gal i fill that one time going to tahoe but i reached 440 mile per tank, and for a while i was hitting 350 a tank on average.. so it depends.

i'm on 5 to 22 to 405 N in the morning / 405 S, to 22 E , to 5 s in the PM. You can imagine my bumper to bumper (average of 1h45m to 2h30m) one way of commute.
