ATX V6 I get around 25mpg driving around town (short trips to the store, to school etc.) Same driving in winter, drops down around 20-23mpg Highway... cruise set at 65, gets around 32-34 Cruise set at 75, about 30mpg Someone said Europe sucks, that is only partially true, they pay higher gas prices, but that tax maintains roads and such. On the other hand, they get all the cool cars... We just get these crappy SUV's...

I just filled mine today after 305 miles of mixed driving slightly biased toward highway. It turned out to be 24.6. Usually in just around town driving I get from 19-22 depending on how heavy my foot is. The best I've gotten is 27.5 in hilly highway driving. Oh yeh, V6 ATX, no mods except drop-in K&N.

I have a "regular" V6 with almost 85K and all maintenance up to date.
In mixed driving conditions I get about 23-26 mpg.
On the highway, I can easily get 30 mpg or higher.

99 Contour Sport V6 ATX, 35k on the clock, 16 mpg in city driving. I've only had the car about 6 weeks, just switched to a higher grade of fuel, maybe that will help.
