On a trip from Richmond, VA to Rochester, NY I made it 486 miles on 12.4 Gallons of gas (>39mpg). That's the best I've ever seen from my car. I think I must have had a nice tail wind all the way up.
I think I've hit maybe 32 before that, but in general, I average between 27 and 30mpg.

NOTE THE POSTER'S LOCATION /end rant/.
32mpg in Canada (Imperial gallons) is approximately equal to 27 mpg in the US (US gallons).
Sounds about right to me. The best I have ever seen with my P5 standard is about 36-38 MPG (imperial) on flat road driving. Usually I get about 28 mpg (imperial) around town.

the most ive ever gotten with constant rush hour driving (washington DC beltway) for 5 days a week was 29mpg using Citgo gas. i tried BP gas and got 26mpg. Mobil gets about 28mpg. i started keeping track around late november, so the cold weather may have something to do with it.
