6 speed Gas Milage

What have the 6 speed owners been getting for milage?

My 01 CL-P gets 26 to 29 mpg. My trips average 12 miles at 55 mpg.

I’m getting about the same as I got with my AUTO.
So far after about 1,200 miles I have a LOW of 18 and a HIGH of 25.

This is for a mixed bag of driving.
Everything from stop-and-go city traffic to 90MPH runs on the Interstate.

The best I got in my auto was something like 32.5 on a long trip to Florida.
I’m sure I’ll get the same or better with this car.

Only 550miles on mine, so 2 fill ups so far. I got right around 20mpg each time. But work is only 5 miles away, and lots of stop signs/lights along the way.

My first tank was 21mpg. That is all for now.

I've only had two tanks full to calculate - both are right around 21 mpg. Almost all city driving so far. Not bad for a fairly powerful, 3446lb car. Will things get even better once the motor is really broken in?

It all depends on your driving conditions, I have seen around 18 and as high as 27... City driving will beat you up good. But I don't think that it is bad gas mileage....If I am not mistaken (correct me if I am wrong)... the size of your wheels will play a factor, but nothing major...(That is if decided to slap some mudders on the buggie and ride around town looking like a yard ape :wackit:....lol).. Since I live in the heart of the city it is a bitch to see a STOP sign every 20 yards. It all depends on how much you like to tromp that pedal to the floor....Oh Hell yeah... If you don't use it, you'll lose it....lol..
