14-16 CITY IS WHAT I'VE AVERAGED FOR THE LAST 9 YEARS. I DO LITTLE HIGHWAY, BUT I'D GUESS 23-28...with a tailwind...downhill.

yeah. I get around 14-15 in the city or highway..but I sure as hell don't cruise at 1-2k in 5th gear on the highway..I put my foot in it a little more than that. :)

The renesis is supposed to be a whole whole lots more fuel efficient. I, for one, can't wait..

So the speed limit on your highways is only 50 mph? :)

FYI, with the stock tires, 70 mph in 5th gear is about 2,800 rpm. 50 mph would be 2,000 rpm. With P275/40-17s, that'd drop to about 1,930, and 70 mph would be about 2,700. And I've never heard of anyone getting 30 mpg unless you coasted downhill from gas station to gas station. Better check your math... :)

I averaged around 14-15 mpg in town, and about 21-22 at best on the highway, with full mods, non-sequential stock twins, and a somewhat heavy right foot.
