RE: max possible mpg
I average about 28-30 in the city. Around 35 on the highway. Over the summer I went up north and got some insane mileage. I hit 250 miles and only used 5.75 gallons. I was just cruisin at around 60 with the cruise control on enjoying the scenery. That is the max I've ever gotten before in mpg. I've hit well over 300 miles per tank on several occasions. I only can do it if I drive on the highway with my cruise control on. If I put my foot into at all my mileage drops like a rock.

Yeah I know. I just wish it did that all the time. It doesn't matter how I drive in the city...i drive nice or hammer it all the time and I end up getting about the same mpg. Usually around 28 all day long.

RE: max possible mpg
Normal around city driving during winter and with gasahol (10% BS) is about 28 MPG.
Highway driving last summer to Florida and back was about 34. Seen 36 in 4 consecutive fillups before.
