Angie, I almost blew beer out my nose!! LOL That was good. On a serious note. I got no better that 24.5 mpg on a 3000 mile road trip. I average 19 city, which is all my driving. However, it has been getting a little better as time goes on. Good luck, HIPHOTROD, Todd(Uma)

I had to see the leg man in San Diego yesterday. My ave. was 27mpg with traffic slowing at Leucadia. It's hilly and variable speeds in So Cal make for confusing readings but overall I'm getting on the high end as long as I don't romp on the pedal.

The sticker is based off the EPA tests. The EPA has a new way of testing MPG for cars. See the following link.

you have to remember the sticker is based off of no a/c, no radio, windows up, sun roof closed, all lights off, light throttle, no load, 55mph and on flat land.
We all live in Cali and we know none of those will happen. By doing any of the above will increases the fuel comsumption causeing your mpg's to decrease.
Any ways, i have the G5 GT with the 2.4 and a heavy foot. I average 26mpg(includes mountian, freeway, city driveing) and a average speed of 44-48.
