What kind of gas mileage do you get? Options

[GotToyota]

I'd like to have an idea of what kind of gas mileage you guys get. I'll start:

Year/Model: 1995 GT
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Mods: Stock
Recent tune-ups/maintenance: New spark plugs, Gumout fuel treatment, filter and oil change, Seafoam treatment
Mileage: I just averaged 26 overall on my first tank of gas, this was with aggressive driving, and before the tune-up stuff mentioned above.

I just checked mine for you guys and I got 25MPG - all city. Mine's manual and I'm at 4K RPM @ 80MPH which I regularly hit on the freeway. That's pretty decent gas mileage unless you are trying to compare to the newer cars and hybrids and stuff. What exactly were you expecting?
Ya'lls gas is high tho. I pay around $2.95 for Chevron/Exxon 93 octane.

I dissagree - 25 MPG for a mid 90's Japanese 4 banger 2 door coup is really really lame. My best friend's mid-90's Nissan 4 Door Nissan Maxima auto gets 26 MPG, my 97 Tracker 4 door SUV gets 25+ MPG, my '94 Subaru easily got 30 MPG with hard driving, my girlfriends 97 V6 4 door automatic Jetta gets 28 MPG, my roomie's mid-90's (I think 96?) 2.2L Accord 4 door auto is getting 28 MPG.

All of the above are mid-90's imports, most of which are 4 doors and / or V6 powered, and none are hybrids. A I-4 2 door coup should be comfortably in the high 20's with agressive city driving, to mid 30's on the highway. My 242,000 mile engine MUST me tired by now, it's only .4 L smaller, and I'm getting 10 MPG better than the 2.2L? Unless they're around 200 HP (which the yota 2.2 isn't even close to), 25 MPG is pretty pathetic.

Ya'lls gas is high tho. I pay around $2.95 for Chevron/Exxon 93 octane.

It's $3.50 here for the cheap gas, and $4 a gal for Chevron 93! The joys of living in California
