18.9 mpg mainly city. I just find it funny that my friends Mustang and a number of other cars get better gas mileage than my Contour. Oh well, I love the car, no matter what the gas mileage is. Hey, it could always be worse.

I average around 24-25 on mine. If I'm travelling only highway, then it hits 28 easy, with the A/C on. However, I nearly ran out of gas just the other day because I was going faster than usual on the highway - about 85 with the A/C on - and apparently that really ate my gas. I only got 20.5 miles per gallon on that tank, which is the lowest I've ever had. So typically I get about 350-360 miles on one tank of gas, and I can get over 400 on the highway.

Crazy Lightning drivers. Then again that is right on target for a Lightning.
I get around 22-24mpg doing almost all city driving back and forth to school. I get on it occasionally but not as much as I used to. The suspension is wearing quickly and the clutch doesn't like it to much either.

I average 32-35 on short trips, with some stop and go, but not truly city driving either. On the highway I get 40.
I don't run it hard, but every once in a while I'll get on it some.
