I'm right around what supergoat said in my '90. Probably 19-22 average and a few more for long trips. I don't think I've ever gotten up to 28 though(average at least 80mph on the highway though). I've been keeping an eye on it the last several months though and it's always been about the same.

I get bad gas mileage too. Almost alway 200 miles to a full tank. Less if I keep my foot into it. I was SO happy a few weeks ago because I got about 230 miles out of a full tank.

Wow,

17/20

city/highway

I don't have mixed modes like "spirited" and "light". My driving is always harsh!
