My '95 Aero 5-speed gets 25-27 in city/suburban driving, >30 on highway at 70 mph, but YMMV relating to driving habits. I anticipate stopping ahead and reduce brake application, for example, and that makes a big difference in overall mileage. By concentrating on good-mileage habits I can realize 3+ mpg increases over a given tankful in city driving. I've seen >40 mpg on the interstate in local traffic using the ideal throttle position, but I haven't been able to sustain that for more than a few miles, as sooner or later you must slow down or accelerate, which foils the game.
If you have an slushbox and drive in continuous stop-and-go traffic, I think 20 mpg may be normal. You don't get good mileage even in a hybrid by sitting still and crawling in traffic.
