I'm only like one notch away from the half way point in my gas guage
 

And its only at 134 miles on the trip. I driven normally, no zoom zoom at ALL and this is what I get on my 5. The sadness of getting an automatic with the shiftronic thing. :(

Oh, if you look around this forum you'll see a thousand posts from ppl complaining about their mpg. Most of us seem to get 26-28.
But, I'm happy as hell with the car, and the way it handles more than makes up for the mpg.
That's what you get for not buying a Corolla.

Wait until the summer months roll around and your gas mileage should be noticably improved.
