City miles, highway is like 27 or 28, I would like to get like 27 or 28 city, and 30 highway. Anyways I'm not hard on the throttle at all, I dont drive like a Grandma but I'm not hard on my car.

Mine is always out of wack. I get like 250 ~ 285 at best from full to empty. I've changed everything I can think of other than the coil. So when I hear of people getting 300+ it make me sick to think there has got to be something I've missed.
I really don't think the contour or mystique get good gas miles without some tweaks.
