I was wondering how much MPG you guys are getting? Please list gen, type of engine, driving style , etc.
See my sig for mines
I usually drive mixed highway/city with occasional A/C, sunroof and windows down. No flooring and all revs below 3k
Gen 3 wagon - 3vz V6, huge cargo box on top with kayak attachments, about 60/40 freeway/city driving, most of the time babying it - 3 tank average of 20.7 MPG.

Check out my signature. It's almost purely city driving. I've added an airdam to assist with the airflow at highway speeds. I can't believe my standard driving attitude is called hypermiling!

Secrets? I have a CF trunk lid, but other than that, nothing special really.
- Royal Purple motor oil every 5k miles
- Royal Purple in the trans/diff every 15k miles
- Purolator air/oil filter every oil change
- check tire pressure every other week
- NGK plugs/wires
- don't carry any unnecessary items in the car. If it's not needed on a daily basis or for a roadside emergency, don't keep it in the car. more weight means less MPGs.
Most importantly, I tell my car it's awesome everyday!
