So far on my first 3 tanks I've gotten:
252 (19.75mpg)
260 (19.34mpg)
254 (18.98mpg)
With 90% city, 5% highway, and 5% PLAY...
I have not taken it on a road trip yet so all highway miles I don't have a clue...
Note: Sorry I forgot, I got the low fuel light only on the 260 mile tank

I Have Gone Over 320 Miles On All Highway Before The Light Came On. Nemisis8 Is My Witness I Could Have Gone 340 On That Tank. I Started Thinking About Gas Stations At About 300 And Was Starting To Worry When The Light Stayed Off For So Long. I Got 23.99 Mpg That Tank(and The One After) While Kevin Got 24.x- He Had Filled Up At A Little Under Half When The 7s Needed To. I Was Trying To Show Him That Well Over 300 Is Possible

I get about 180 all City and about 220 mixed, and 250 mixed mostly freeway. Probably could be better but I always find myself cruising the freeway at 80+ in 4th, and 6th is rarely used :D

I'm lucky if i get 180 out of a tank. Driving styles aside, how can one person get 160 and someone else get 280? I take it easy when I drive and I can't even get 200 miles out of a tank.

If anyone thinks it ALL about driving stlye, well there absolutely nuts. People would have to swap cars to really find out.
Anyways I've been getting <200 per tank most of the time with, 90/10 city/highway.
My best ever was in the mid 17's mpg, but I've been seeing alot of high 12's lately.
MPG has been all down hill for me since the M flash. It temporarily comes up if I do a reset though.

8 gets pretty good gas mileage
If you get good mileage post it here. All of the mileage threads are people complaning and I am wondering if this is a case of the squeaky wheel, but the majority get decent mileage... I'd start a pole if I knew how.
BTW -- I get about 19.5 in the city and 23 on the highway.

I forgot to mention... I travel for business and wind up in a rental every week. My 8 gets better mileage than pretty much anything I rent, except of course when I get stuck in a Corolla or something like that.

I get 17mpg around town and as high as 29.5mpg on the hwy with the trucks in the slow lane. Thats my worst and best, most of the time 20-24, its to much fun to rev-up.

Wow, I had to do a double-take when I saw the thread title. This one's got to be a first!
Since I've started driving less aggressively lately (speeding tickets will do that to you), my gas mileage has gotten much better. I think the last tank I got made around 280-285 miles. That's with almost all shifting below 3750 rpms and keeping my speed under 80 mph.

Stuck in a love triangle
Haha I was about to say the samething. 8 gets pretty good gas mileage -- yea - compared to a Ferrari or Viper. Even the Corvette gets better mileage than this car.
Last year I always got between 16 - 17 city mpg. Lately its been 15 - 16.
