Gas Reserve
Don't forget that we have a 3 gallon reserve after your gasoline warning light turns on. Just make sure your calculations are correct.
220 divided by 13 equals 16.92 mpg while
220 divided by 17 equals 12.94 mpg.
For me, I get around 17-18 mpg in the city. I fill the the take up with 93 octane, right after the the gas light turns on. Also, read the number of gallons on the pump when you fill it up. Most I ever paid for was 14.58 gallons that leaves about 2.42 gallons still sitting in my tank.

I usually only average 310 from top off to the time when the gas light comes on. 
Gas mixed with premium/super and I would say 75% highway 25% city
Sometimes I wanna go back to driving civics and accords..... But it just wouldnt be as much fun as my CL-S

I just got off a road trip. I am averaging 26.7 miles per gall on the freeway. This is with the A/C on with full throttle to redline acceleration often, 80-90mph, with some spirited driving. This is very regular for me. I think I could easily get over 30mpg if I did 70mph without all the fun.
