My cumulative average for 8100 miles is 17.80 mpg. Almost all of it urban/suburban commuting and errands on Los Angeles area freeways and surface streets. Heavy foot, A/T. In summer stop-and-go city traffic on surface streets with A/C running it gets in the 16s. Extended cruising at a steady 80 on a level freeway -- up to 31-32mpg IIRC.
Charging around in a 3,800# car (including 200# for me) with Aero torque under your toe is not a real gas miserly proposiiton.
BTW, as the engine approaches the 10k mark, I can definitely feel it getting a bit more lively. Others have reported this as well.
