My first tank I got 14 doing the same driving that would yield me 18.5 with my 2006 GT. Now, at about 1300 miles, I am currently at 18.5 MPG on this tank and I got averaged 24.2 for several miles on the highway going 65. With 3.73s I dont expect to get the 26 advertised on the highway. Also, here on Orlando it is low 90s with 90% humidity. Probably the worst case scenario when it comes to mileage and engine efficiency in general. I am sure I can average around 19.5 combined when in the spring, winter, and fall here.

I'm well past the break-in period now (4500km/2800mi).
According to the onboard computer calculation, I'm consistently getting an average of 15L/100km (which coincidentally works out to around 15 MPG).
Definitely less than I had hoped for.
Semi-spirited driving sometimes, occasional 1st to 4th skipshift, but mainly "normal" shift driving (ie cruise in 4th or 5th).

FYI i too was getting TERRIBLE gas mileage during my break in period. I too have 3:73 gears. I now have 3500 miles on her and i'm averaging 15.8 city. It keeps going up too.

I'm getting 14 - 15 mpg around town driving like an old woman. I did get 23 highway going to LA a couple of weeks ago. That is with the cruise control set at pretty much 80. I'm a little disappointed in the mileage, but thrilled with the acceleration. More than balances out!!!
