I am getting about 21 mpg in real driving - city/highway. You can do better by a few mpg if you drive conservative.

Around town/city driving I get about 18-19; steady-state on the highway I get just under and occasionally just over 26mpg.

I tend to follow the speed limits on surface streets (or perhaps 5mph over) and tend to accelerate at a brisk pace (compared to most people from stops, etc) and I usually travel 10 over on highways/interstates which means 80 or so on most of the interstates I travel. However even with extended runs of 85 or so on interstates I've noticed no significant degradation in MPG.

I've been running around 16 overall average lately. Much lower in the city, but I've been up as high as 18-19 on the highway
