Hey, I typically get around 18-21 in the city, and 24-26 highway, depending on how I drive. Just out of curiousity, you're not related to any Crawford's from Maryland, are you? (I'm another Crawford)

I just drove my car on a 600 mile trip.

Averaging about 75mph, I went ~320 miles on ~11 gallons. Thats just under 30mpg.

around 25-30, depending on type and driving habits. I have let my car run on empty forever (gas needle nearly pegging bottom of gauge) and never put more than 14 gallons in.

Single cam KA (now), 13-14 If i'm lucky...

I told you it was running too rich and I can't figure out why, oh - ad I have a heavy foot...

I put $5 in gas in the morning (1.70/gallon) drive *maybe* 30 miles in a day *maybe* and be back below empty again.

About 22 in the city if I drive nice, 20 if I hot-rod it.

Highway I get 25-26 at around 80mph, and as high as 28 at 65-70

I'd say my old 240SX SE got around 24-26 on average.

I generally got 330 miles from the tank being full to the fuel light coming on.

Not bad at all really

I hover around 20 w/ my SOHC... I strive for around 22 which during the summer I've gotten. After getting home from college and initially driving the car (I don't have it at college w/ me) I get around 18 for a tank or so... then it goes up to right around 20... this is all with a moderate 'foot' not too heavy (anymore ) This is also all mostly city driving... Haven't had too much opportunity to get it out on the hwy.
