"Country" cruising, managed 40MPG.
On my typical daily commute, about 34MPG.
I believe that the worst mileage I've ever logged on a tank was 27MPG.
I keep track at every fill-up. I just filled up today, and with a fair bit of in-town driving, I got 30MPG.
I'm in Canada, but I've converted my mileage from km and litres to MPG for ease of comparison. One U.S. gallon equals about 3.78 litres, and one mile is about 1.6095km. Those are the figures I used for my calculations, so I believe they should be accurate.
As a note - the 40MPG requires cruising around 50MPH. I find that once 65MPH is exceeded, mileage drops significantly. That's also likely why my last tank was a bit lower - I've been cruising around 75MPH lately on the highway. I went 566km (351 miles) on 44.5 litres (11.8 gallons). I've actually exceeded 700km on a tank a couple of times, but I was nearly running on fumes.
