Lately here's what I've been getting (stock car, winter weather,):

19.9 mpg
20.0 mpg
19.52 mpg
19.48 mpg

I dont really like these #'s. Please post your car's MPG and any mods you have done.

Mine's pretty close to that. No mods, need to do something, this mpg sucks.

I'm averaging about 30 mpg. Completely stock drivetrain. I'll get an exact mpg rating 2 fill ups from now due to I disconnected my battery recently and it reset my trip miles. (I like the old analog reading better than this electronic crap)

I had been getting around 30MPG in the summer, but averaging 20MPG lately with the temperature being steadily around -30C (-22F). Winter really kicks your gas milage in the arse!

2 weeks ago on a complete highway trip from pittsburgh to detroit and back with a 3.4 I got 24 mpg. I have a CAI and exhaust, i usually get around 22 around town. The only thing that saves me during the winter is my garage. I dont have to start my car and waste gas just idling outside b/c my car is already warm and I park it in a heated garage at work, so its the same when i come home.

another 2.4 guy here:
summertime: I usually get about 325 miles per tank on the thruway, cruise set at 2100 rpm (about 65 mph), and about 220 mpt without the thruway.

wintertime: I haven't gone on the thruway at all this winter, and I get about 120-150 mpt because I let it sit to warm up for a few minutes. (don't beat me to death with "idling is bad!" I know it is, but I don't wanna freeze my ass on those leather seats!)

my tank is about 12 gallons, right? so if that number's right, then I get 27 highway and 18 city for the summer; 10-12.5 city for the winter. Subtract the idling, and it's probably a hell of a lot better.

unmodded car.

I get about 17-21 city and 26-32 highway. This all depends on weaher conditions and temperature, of course.

If I really thrash the car around a road course, (There are a few courses made behind abandoned wearhouses in CT, not exactly legal bt it is completley devoid f any innocent drivers and is far from any residential areas) I have gotten mialge as low as 12 mpg combined but thats pushin gthe car to redline any chance I got.

I can get a bit above 30mpg on highwaydriving at about 75 mph thats my cars sweet spot where it will run at 2100-2200 rpm in top gear. Pretty good mialage for a 3.4 liter engine at that speed.
