This seems to be the biggest variable in MPG. My 00 9-3 base auto absolutely eats gas at idle, so short trips with lots of traffic and stops can give me mileage easily in the low-mid teens (I mean real city, 30 minutes to go 5 miles traffic, not just stop and go suburban stuff). But cruising at 70 pushes me over 30 MPG sometimes.
Have to say, my biggest complaint about the 9-3 is that it consumes so much fuel at idle.
