23-24 MPG normally thats primarily crowded highway I try to lock it down at 60 on cruise control ever since gas got so expensive but occasionally drive a tad faster when I am late. Still the worst I got on a normal tank was 18 mpg and that included 2 100+ mph runs and daily driving up to 90 MPH although mostly 80. The 23-24 Includes heavy use of A/C the best I have ever gotten was 26 locking it in at 80 mph on CC (I seriously didn't touch the throttle or brakes for 2.5 hours). Ever since changing the engine air filter I seem to have been getting superb mileage although I didn't fill up my tank myself so I don't know the actual # but I got over 300 miles to the tank without the light going off. I should mention I drive an 04 although I don't see that much of a difference between 04 and 06 in fuel economy factors i.e. weight, drag, or engine.
