Default What kind of mileage do you get?

So I've been monitoring my fuel mileage lately, and I drive mostly highway getting around 33-36mpg consistently on 87 octane. My car has 116k miles on it.

So the question I pose to you all is what mileage do you get, what octane, and how many miles are on your car?

yeah no overdrive kinda kills it plus the stereo adds a decent amount of weight which brings down mileage.

Mine gets around like 24 around the city.

I usually use less gas than others because I am a very laidback driver, I'm in no hurry to get anywhere.
