What's your gas millage on P5 (Automatic), our with 2500 miles on never got 25 mpg. The best I got was 22.8mpg.
I usualy get about 270 miles from a tank, and I'm filling it up with 12.5 gallons. Never really higway tested it, I keep A/C on %40 of the time.

I have been getting 25-26 on average with my P5 5spd. When they're all highway miles I have gotten 30.

on the highway (5sp) I have been getting in the high 20's and in combined driving somewhere in the mid to low 20s (I think).

There is a thread in the maintenace section where this is being talked about. Once I get home from vacation I will post my mileages for the trip (780 each way) there.

I get 350-360 mi. to the tank as well. I love the gas mileage. I have a 5 speed and drive aggressive occassionally.

I'm getting about 25 mpg in very mixed driving with 150-200 lbs of crap in the hatch every day.

Now if only we could get a V8 that gets that kind of mileage, like my dad's Y2K Vette.........
