What is everyone's average gas mileage? (The Mother thread)

Lexus Test Driver
My car tells me I avg 16.6 mpg, but it usually says something like 19mpg avg per tank. I drove mostly city (and not as often as most other members on here probably) and a bit of highway between home and school once every 2-4 weeks (and I did the auto show earlier this yr too). I drive very conservatively at the start to let the engine warm up and usually go pretty easy on it the entire way. However, I do like to do some spirited driving every now and then on some empty roads so I'm certain that kills mpg a lot.

2002 LS430UL - 14.7-16.8mpg city (14-16L/100km), 23.5-26.0mpg highway (9.0-10.0L/100km).
Low mpg = winter tires/snow/traffic/5 people, high mpg = summer tires/low traffic/solo or 1 passenger.

50/50 and between 22 and 23 mpg in the Arizona Sun, 132K on the ticker, bone stock, perfectly maintained, on Michelin Primacy tires. I drive like an old man, according to my kids.

I do like 72/25 hwy city driving and get 23-23.5 ish. I got 27-29 ish with my 98 accord for the same routine 90 miles hwy RT to work and zipping around town after and on the weekends.
My mileage went down when I got the new Primacies from the Goodyear Assurances the car came with but came back up when I put 15k on the primacies and wore em down.
