I've only driven my V6 about 100 miles but am getting about 23 mpg.

Caveat: that's about half city/half country driving but does include an awful lot of very slow movement as I practice getting into and out of a garage designed for a Model T Ford and a very narrow alleyway and a neighbor's garage right behind mine.

Considering the break-in period listed in the manual is 1500 miles most of us probably have a lot more miles to go before we start worrying about the mileage.

One thing I found interesting in the manual is that rumor on the forum had it that we were supposed to keep our speed under 55 mph. Ha! The book specifically states it's best to keep it under 100 mph during the break-in period... :-)
