29.29, motherfuckers. Not bad at all considering I wasn't trying at all and I expected like 10 less. I bet I could hit 40 if I really tried. Fueleconomy.gov says I should be averaging just 26.

20-23, no matter what I do. If I hit a lot of rush hour traffic it drops like a sack of potatoes.

The best I've ever got was 28, so I bow my hat to you sir.

Crossfire lists as 18-23. I manage 30-32. I love manuals.

My car is rated at 29 highway and I have regularly gotten 34. It's a good feeling especially when you don't expect it! :-)

That's what's so surprising; mine is automatic. The only thing I can think of that I do differently is I will only ever turn on my AC if it is raining and I'm sweating. Otherwise, the window goes down instead or I tough it out. Even on the freeway, though, so that can't be good for aero at ~80mph.

That's still impressive. I do know that no AC definitely gives automatics a boost though. I remember my sister doing a fair bit better in her automatic Volvo with it off. Not doing excessive acceleration helps too.
