I got 27 on my last 700+ mile road trip, but normally around town I get 22-23ish. I always drive "spirited"-ly =0). (Yes, I just made that a word)

Believe it or not.... In one week of driving I get 22.7 mpg driving to and from work on the freeway everyday, and on my days off driving the surface treets.
I just did a tune up 3 weeks ago and I was getting 21.5 mpg before the tune up.

My '93 SC3 NA 5-speed does *okay* on the highway, but in the city, where I do most of my driving, I think I'm getting maybe 17 mpg, almost kind of Hummer territory. I gotta say, these days I think three times before starting the engine, and this is my only car.
