Constantly improving.
Getting 35.91 mpg with my 97 Toyota Corolla Base (1.6L 4A-FE, 3-Spd). That's about 19% over my first three tankful average (the tripometer is busted). This is my first foreign car of any description, my first 4-cylinder, and the first car I ever had that could get above 30mpg. Bought it from my friend's dad, who is the original owner, for $150. I have put "moon caps" on instead of the broken (and hideous) stock ones, folded in the passenger side mirror, taken off the mudflaps, disabled the power-steering, and filled the lower airdam on the front bumper with styrofoam and covered it with packaging tape. Plan on fixing the dented, ugly hood with bondo and paint today, and glassing over the taped up bumper, as it has caused no over heating thus far in FL in the two months I've had the car. Gonna make some belly pans and rear wheel covers, but nothing too crazy. 75.6 mile daily commute, doin' 60(from)-65(to)mph.
