I've only been averaging 20 mpg city driving in my V6 ATX, but I make a lot of short trips in heavy traffic.

I've been getting 17-18 MPG in mixed driving. 99 CSVT, so obviously V6 and 5-speed. The mileage was so bad it led me to jump on the group buy for the OBD-2 code reader, which tells me I have a Po4o2 - EGR Flo Excess trouble code.

I seem to average 22-28 depending on the traffic conditions. the Tour is mainly used to commute twice a week to bottom of NYC. So going 90 when i can or all the way down to a standstill. But my car needs some cleaning. the Oxygen sensor 'check engine' codes come on every other week.

My dad kept an excel spreadsheet for the 110,000 miles before he gave me the car:
29 mpg total, 40/40/20 country roads, highway, city.
