I'm also wondering, my car's running like crap right now and I barely got 18 mpg on the last tank. Is that normal?

i get anywhere between 20-25 normally, if i stay out of boost, more like 26-34, long trips in snow and rain and the sr rocks the gas mileage.

My Sr is getting about the same as my KA did, but I'm dipping into boost quite frequently, it's way too much fun to stay out of boost. I'm sure if I didn't do it as much I'd be getting about 25-30mpg... But alas, I have a heavy right foot.

18~19 MPG

Mostly short city driving with lots of idle time. And lots of boost.
