Look
if you're getting 18 MPG or more, then you're not enjoying your car enough!
I get 16-17 MPG mixed driving and enjoy every second.

Be sure you are taking actual odometer mileage and gallons used and calculating your mileage manually to get an accurate reading. What you see displayed on the PCM is not terribly accurate.

On my 06 C2S cab 6spd I get 24.4 mpg consistently when driving 100% highway miles at 75 mph w/cruise turned on. I suspect the altitude here in Colorado hurts the mileage a bit as does the extra weight of the cab.

I'm shocked at how often I'm filling up my little tank. I think my riding lawn mover has a bigger tank.

Does my mileage seem to jibe with other people's experience?

15.4 + - in mixed driving, sometimes as low as 9mpg in stop and go. I've seen 28 on the highway.

I usually get between 15-18 mixed driving. The only time I've ever seen the car break 21 was when I was cruising on the highway at 80mph for about 30 miles. Other than that, I rarely see it above 18.
