what everyone getting for Milse per Gallon

Just read through some posts and some one said they were getting 26 mpg with their lead foot. I'm getting 23.8 With all easy highway driving. When I have been having a bad week Im getting 21-22. I had a problem with my engine light and had found out it was a problem with some fuel vapor system, but it was supposed to be fixed. What is everyone getting for mpg?

Using good gas? Not doing something silly like driving in D3?

'96 3.2TL here with 87k miles.

I usually get a constant 20-22mpg. Not too bad at all.

I assume the 3.2 TLs are the ones getting better mileage? I keep a log of my MPG and I get 21-23 pretty much all the time. Since Sept 2004, I have an average MPG of about 21.5 in my 2.5 TL.

They shouldnt be.. the 2.5's according to the EPA at least get 1 mpg better on the highway.

Man I wish I was you guys

I've been averaging about 15 mpg city driving...any suggestions on routine maintenance or common problems? I got the car about 5 months ago, it was recently tuned up with new plugs etc. I'm going to pull the KNN drop-in filter and clean it out. The tires are a bit wider than stock, but I can't imagine that would torpedo the mileage -5mpg. Could dirty injectors be to blame?
