How often do you fill up?
Even though I did spark plugs, and ATF change. I barely reach the 300 mark anymore. I do need a valve adj. really soon. So that might be contributing to lower mpg than what I am use too.
My commute is only about 15 miles round trip and I usually fill up once every week and a half. I make up for the easy commute with 2 quite fun on ramps so my MPG drops drastically since I can enjoy them at 4am when I go to work.
In NJ:
-A tank will last me ~ 1.5 weeks, averaging 24-25 mpg (mixed driving), and a tank will last ~ 320-340 miles (I fill when the needle is just above the E). Price is $3.93/gallon now for 91, and a fill is generally ~ $54. So yearly fuel cost is ~ $1870 or so (average).

I drive around 500 miles per week and usually fill up 1.5-2 tanks. I go through between $350 and $400 per month on gas.
I am addicted to driving the car, really just don't care how much gas costs. For a car nut such as myself who enjoys driving, gas could be $10/gallon and I still wouldn't care.

I fill up once every 3-4 weeks and a couple times have made it nearly 5 weeks. I work close to home (well, the company car is close to home). My average mpg is only 13 because my average mph is only 15mph due to traffic and the fact that nearly half of the drive time is with the car idling.
There was a time when I was filling up every other day for the first couple years I owned the car when I commuted.
Most miles on one tank is driving to Phoenix, I get about 528 miles on a tank driving the speed limit and not stopping at all and the tank topped off.

On average it's about every 17 days as I have a relatively short commute (12 miles round trip) and we use the Mrs. vehicle on the weekends and long trips.
Every 3-5 days. Drive 75 miles a day monday-friday for school. That's nearly 400 miles a week just for school. Spend about $400/month for gas.
I always go to the same Shell gas station because it's usually 10-15 cents cheaper than any other Shell/Texaco/Chevron/Exxon. Plus I like V-Power!

Its the small things that do the big trick, like don't drive with windows down on the highway, or filling up on 100% gas or the 10% ethanol stuff does make a difference. I do grandma driving.
I havent.. I live in TX and I don't believe there are any "Sunoco" stations around here.. There's a "Conoco" though!. But no, I have not tried that either.
I've owned my TL for nearly 2 years now and I have not filled up on anything besides Shell V-Power since owning the car. I always told myself I wouldn't mind filling up with Texaco, Chevron, or Exxon because they all use their own special fuel additive blends to prevent carbon build up and what not, but I always find myself filling up with Shell anyways.. lol
