Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I seem to be getting around 240-250 miles per tank of gas, or roughly 16-17 mpg, in my 2001 S 3.2. Nearly all city driving. Always 91 octane. Car runs fine as far as I can tell. Seems low to me but what do you guys get? Anyone use any fuel additives?
Usually around town 13 or 14 mpg is the norm. This because it is mostly 2nd gear and lead foot. Highway driving such as interstate 27 or 28 mpg is common.
My 3.2 has a very hard time getting less then low 20 city driving 93 octane
If I push 4 - 5k Rpms at starts then I see high teens but as soon as I calm down then right back to low 20s
Hway high 20 to low 30s. 400+ miles to empty
98 2.5L.....in city 20 to 25 MPG on interstate 29 to 33 MPG. I have GT-3 front air dam and rear
under body panel. It helps improve air flow and reduce drag.
2000S, last few tanks of gas:
21.43 mpg
18.15 mpg
18.89 mpg
19.51 mpg
22.63 mpg
11.56 mpg at Roebling ��
24.25 mpg all interstate on the way to RRR
Not 100% accurate because sometimes when I fill up the gauge only goes up to around 7/8 but I have learned not to keep going or else I may spill some gas.
I always see right at 20 in my 2000 3.2....I usually drive a good mix of hwy/city. I am envious of you getting upper 20's...wait, no, I like my 3.2 performance....I have my Kia soul for the mpg
LOL!! That's almost too damn funny.
My 03S has been averaging about 22mpg. I have about a 10 minute city drive to/from work. I generally get into 3rd only a few times, so I'd say I'm generally aggressive when driving it. There is a lot of stops along the way though. When I drive the truck it takes me almost 15 minutes to get to/from work and I get about 12mpg with that.
Did a PCA club back country road drive Sunday. About 130 miles of "spirited" driving total with around 80 miles of twisties. Spent a lot of time in 2nd and 3rd. Averaged 19.8 MPG for the entire drive on my 04 S. and about 3.5 hours of smiles per mile
