Daily Drivers and their Mileage

Bought at the end of July 2010, it has 4,600 miles on it and I average around 21-23mpg in mixed driving conditions. I see around 28-30mpg if I stay below 70 and am conservative with the throttle, can't complain.

That is pretty good. I wonder, though, how hard is it to keep it under 70? That feels like a crawl.

I bought mine with 25 miles on her, replaced engine at 2900, best mileage under break in was 17.4 MPG, now it is between 11.7-12.4 MPG on my daily 10 miles round trip.

I so rarely drive on the freeway, it is a topic of conversation if I hit 6th gear.
