In a mixed commute on suburban roads and highways, I'm getting 24 mpg. Since I got the car it went up from 17. I could care less how accurate it is, because it is what it is. So if it's off 2 mpg either way, I don't care.

Usually when I top it off it is closer, considering more gas is going in (duh me) lol... And to answer everyones input on how much bad gas mileage I get, if you lived in NYC you'd understand... There's a traffic light every 1/4 mile, none of them in sequence, and the traffic is horrible... And I live in Staten Island, supposedly the quietest borough on NYC... Imagine I drove in Manhattan, my gas mileage would be about 12-13 on average... LOL
The attendants should not top off the tank. Who wants gas dribbling down the sides of their car. I found premium for about 3.29, but you take ethanol with that fill up.

Driving in Queens and the Long Island Expressway in traffic with a stick shift is a MPG killer. Could be that I'm still learning how to shift this car.

Yeah I'd rather pump myself, damn Jersey idiots can't pump (or drive for that matter) lol... The most I've paid for premium ever is about $4.35 where I live, it was killing me... And davv, I could imagine... Big reason why I didn't wanna get a manual lol

From Bayside NYC, 30/70, mostly city driving. Averaging 15.7mpg, pretty mixed driving, overly agressive one day like an old man another day, depending on my mood lol. Just put 10200 miles on my 2011 xS coupe.

At about 4,200 miles on the clock. Getting 22.5+ mpg overall driving. Use mostly Shell premium in the gas tank, and the synthetic blend the dealer uses for oil changes. Getting better mpg than my V-8 '08 Explorer, but less than my '06 V-8 Corvette.

I got same mileage but getting 7 less MPG than you... It hurts lol but sweet name... I'm actually trying to become a CPA, attempting to study for test right now (not working out too well LOL) and my gf told me a couple months back that she seen a license plate G37CPA that looked exactly like mine and in Graphite Shadow, but it had NY plates... And I see your from NC... But anyways, cool stuff, enjoy your great MPG while I suffer with mediocrity haha

G37xNYC - totally off topic, I just passed my last part in May and was licensed this July! Do you have any parts? Don't get discouraged. Anyways, just add some custom stitching to the seats or something (hahaha). Or a bumper sticker... That should also improve gas mileage as well.

Good luck and keep working at it. I passed the exam a number of years ago (first and only time sitting for it), when you still had to use pencil and paper, and not even a calculator was permitted. I know, the dark ages. Take a review course before the exam.
