    Right now I am getting 15-16 stop and go with my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I think I could get 18-19 on the highway.

    I've got a 06 Titan with the lower towing gears in it. 12.5ish average with mixed city/highway in the winter. Straight highway, I can get upper 14's in the winter, I got 15.9 once in the summer on a highway trip that was on cruise control the whole way.

    I've got a 2002 Monte Carlo SS that's getting about 25 mpg which isn't too bad I guess. My old Accord was getting closer to 30 though.

    Man you guys are killing me in the mileage department. Besides spark plugs and wires, is there anything you guys have added/replaced that helped out with fuel economy?

    keep your tires inflated properly, keep the oil changed and air filter fresh annually... not much you can don other than to drive like a puss...

    I get anywhere from 17 to 22 mpg out of my 95 Ford Ranger with a 4.0 and 4wd.
    I've borrowed an Aveo from a friend of mine once or twice, I could get used to 40+mpg

    That was my previous vehicle, 2000 s-10 single cab, short bed... 4.3v6. Is that not the most awesome little truck in the world? I could run 10.20's in a 1/8. I loved that truck. I got around 21 with mine, but I had less weight, and an intake...

    Awesome pick up though...

    Agree with SevenMag. I actually inflate my tires a little above recommended on passenger cars. If it calls for 32-35psi cold. I inflate to 40. If it's high pressure tires, I keep at recommended.

    I miss my wife's old Geo Metro. 55+ mpg. Sure would be nice to have that again...

    I've had two S-10's:

    1985 2.8L manual standard cab, long box 4x4
    1992 4.3L manual Standard cab, standard length 4x2

    I liked the '85 simply for the fact of the 4x4. But, the '92 held it in terms of power, mileage, accessories, etc.
