whats your gas mileage (2001-2003 cl-s)??
I think last time I checked I was getting about 18 mpg. That seems really low. All of my driving is city though, but that is still crappy gas mileage. Thats about the same as I used to get with a 5 liter v8 mustang. I hardly ever really get on the gas either, I would say 95% of the time I drive I take it pretty easy. I probably go WOT only a few times per tank of gas (and only for a few seconds). Is this normal gas mileage for a CL-S? I just got it a couple months ago.
could everyone post what kind of gas mileage they are getting, and what kind of driving they do (city, highway, floor it at every light, etc).
I would appreciate it..this is bugging me.

It's normal...I get about 16-18 mpg...mostly city driving. I drive semi-aggresive but not always. About half the tank is aggressive driving and the other half is cruising. I usually get about 250 miles per tank. The window sticker when you buy the car says 19 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway...it also says underneathe it that this is an average and it varies on driving conditions...OTHER THAN THAT YOUR CAR IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
Aaaahhh, the benefits of headers and a CAI.

Between 25 and 28 miles per gallon. 75% Highway 25% back road with Climate Control on during the hot months. Average speed on highway is 75 miles per hour (where I can). Getting to 75 miles per hour, that's where we all have fun. Most of the time I keep the tach under 4K but on occasion (at least once a day) I have to hear the VTEC kick in.

I probably get about 17-19 mpg in the Phoenix summer heat. This is all city driving, occasional WOT (couple times per tank) and the A/C is always blasting on high.
Last year, when I first bought my car, in the same kind of summer heat, I got about 20 mpg....perhaps something in the gas has changed or it's just much hotter outside.
But I can get about 27-28 hwy driving (what I got when I drove to San Diego and some local one-day trips around AZ).

Worst I got was ~16mpg in the middle of a snowstorm in VA while doing a 3 mile commute. Best is in the middle of BFE midwest USA 30 mpg with CC on. Typical is 22mpg.

I have always gotten 17 in the city and 30 on the highway.
MPGN04 and GSRBlack.......does the AC run on high almost the entire time during the summer? On at 72, my AC runs at high the entire time (in full automatic mode).
