28-30 mpg depending.

Not bad for a 240 horsepower turbocharged engine.

I'm getting mid to low 30's out of my Civic. Though I have managed to push it as high as 38 when I was making a concentrated effort to get better mileage.

Between 20-25, I think, which isn't that bad for a '92. Effing four-banger.

I get about 25 in my '89 Oldsmobile, which isn't bad considering is a V6 and it hasn't been properly maintained in years.

I'm consistantly amazed by the quality of this thing's engine. Even at nearly a quarter of a million miles, it runs pretty good. To be honest, the body worries me a lot more than the engine does.

I get average about 20 miles per gallon with my day-to-day freeway and surface street driving, but i get about 25 MPG when I'm doing a long distance trip like to Sacremento or Vegas.

My 1986 Oldsmobile still gets around 20mpg

Sometimes I swear this car is going to just keep on driving until it just sublimes into a fine molecular mist.

I wanted a Ford Excursion with 4x4 and the 7.3 diesel engine, couldnt find one that I could afford so I settled for a 2000 model (one owner 44k miles) with the 5.4L V-8.

Est MPG is 14~16 can't wait to pick it up next friday.

Depends if I keep the speed down to 2 digits (mph). But most of the time my mileage is infinite because there's no need to drive in Paris.
