I am averaging about 27.5 on my 1998 SC300 on a regular basis since buying the car about 3 weeks ago. I have gotten 28 mpg one time.
What is everyone else averaging??

Milage
It used to be around 18-20 avg. But after adding intake an exhaust, its definately around 16 to 18. I do drive mostly with the OD off and foot firmly pressed to the peddle.....dont think that helps too much

For my 1997 SC400, I average 23 mpg (80% highway). I got 26 mpg on a long road trip recently. I probably use the ECT/PWR switch about 20% of the time. I don't have a real heavy foot, but will punch it for fun occasionally. This is the best mileage I've ever seen from a V8 motor.

Mileage
I drive 35 miles each way to work on open country roads here in Arizona. I drive around 65 mph the whole way there, air conditioning on and have been getting around 26.5 to 26.9 on an almost constant basis. I have gotten in the 27's a few times and also the 28's one time.

I have a '95 SC400
I used to average about 19 mpg (maxed out at 22mpg), a mix of highway driving and city driving... with a heavy foot
After upgrading my wheels (18x8.5 and 18x9.5) my gas mileage has dropped to 16.5... but my air filter is pretty dirty (waiting for my new intake), so hopefully it will improve, it's summer, and i've been driving with an even heavier foot.

I've gotten about 27 mpg on 1 full tank, on a recent trip to Chicago. {ECT off, highway driving averaging 65 mph}
I got 24 mpg from Dallas to Vicksburg, MS.. avg 70 mph. {ECT on}
City and highway combined gunning it is about 18-20 mpg.

Gas mileage
I am getting 17 - 18 primarily city driving.
One thing I notice is how accurate the MPG indicator is on this car. On my Corvette it was always off by about 2 MPG. On this car it is almost always dead on to the actual MPG calculated when I fill up.
