Where is my super sauce?
I get about 250 or so (to the 3 gallon warning light) for pure city driving (ie: almost always in traffic, rarely make it into 4th gear).
About 420 on the highway (to the warning light).

Working with Lumberg.
If I put 1 gallon of gas in it, start it up, and drop it off a cliff, it MAY fall 30 miles before running out (at idle). MAYBE, on a good day.
I usually get around 24mpg...

Depending on my “throttle activity” 
, I’m getting 18-22MPG around town and as high as 28-29MPG on long highway runs.
Going by miles per tankfull is quite inaccurate.

I get about 260 to 280 before my light goes on...this is all stop and go in the city. I seldom get on the highway...well, for about 2 or 3 miles each way from work, but that's not enough to justify hwy driving.
At the half mark, the odo usually reads around 140.

Cruise control set at about 68 - 75 (depending...) and traveling on traffic-free interstates. Sixth gear.

I can believe that. I've gotten 450 or so straight HW driving no stops driving from NY to FL with the cruise set at 78. No AC. Averaged it out 1 time it was like 34mpg. That was with the Auto I had.

I've never turned my automatic climate control off. It stays at 69 year round.

When the 6-speed arrived, it made my short list. It's still there, but inaction (laying in the weeds, watching, waiting) rules at the moment. Currently a FWD manual shift V-6 is parked alongside my old diesel pickup. Both get remarkable fuel efficiency. Diesel got circa 55 enroute Oregon this past summer. Toyota turned in 34.8 to/from LA during Christmas. Granted, not as classy as der CL-S..................ez
