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.
