Default Poll - Gas mileage: Post Avant/Sedan, 6MT/AT, City, Hwy, Break-in or Post Break-in and style

Now that more of us are out of the break-in period I'm interested in what everyone is getting.

For style of driving post easy, moderate, hard.

Also note if it is hand or computer calculated.

Default I've kept it below 4000 rpm...

except for a couple of 5000 rpm mistakes. About 20% of the mileage is on local freeways at all speeds including stop and go.

I do let it get to 4000 quickly though :-)

Default To be honest....

I have been to busy pushing buttons and seeing what she can do to worry about it. I have the 'current mpg' display up most of the time and I get between 6mpg in traffic to 39mpg sometimes. When coasting in a gear (engine breaking but pre-engine pull) i get like 50-60mpg. dont know what to make of all it but I love the car that the MPG isnt really effecting anything yet. Plust I am still in break in.

Default I've been pleasantly surprised...

Mileage is better than I expected and the computer is really close to my real calculations.
