Aragonis, it sounds like I have a couple of "environmental" advantages that help my tank to tank averages. I live in a sparsely populated part of the Western U.S. so almost all my driving in this car is highway. Stop and go traffic kills your mileage. Also, I live at 6,300 feet above sea level. The thinner air let's my car slip through with less air resistance. On some of my trips I drive for extended periods at over 8,000 feet elevation and the ScanGuage shows great mileage figures for that part of the trip. I do wish I had a six speed though, perhaps I could do even better.
