I run my 14 premium city only, and if im lucky I get 18mpg. I don't even ride it hard. but yeah I've never done Highway driving yet in my 3 months owning it, so idk how high my mpg could get. when i got gas today, I had 16mpg lol that's so bad.

most of my driving is blacktop @60mph, and alittle town, but I've learned to use the gearbox more when I'm driving 60 or less, not much fun but sure helps on the mpg.BTW, I don't beat on it , but I do go thru 1-3 hard 2 times a month LOL-- CHOP

My mileage has improved to 28.3 after installing an Airaid tube & K&N drop-in filter. I know after I tune it it may even get better but I am changing the oil 1st. I'll report back afterwards.

So reporting back in on this ancient thread. Car's never done better than ~22 MPG on 90% driving, and that's sort of the high water mark... At 100,000, I think it's "broken in." Mostly what I'm getting from this thread is that engine vary widely on their fuel efficiency and I got one on the lower end of the scale.
