I also forgot that the a/c is run on both of my Toys most all summer, except for those "nice" summer nights we get a few of.
Last two tanks have been 29.2 and 28.7 on a '96 Saturn SL2 Automatic.
Mostly city driving.

Are you running the A/C? Not bad for city driving on the Saturn! What do you think you've done to get the mileage up that high?

Easy foot when I drive it. If I drove it the entire time, I'm sure it'd be 30+ as my mom has a heavy foot.
40 psi in the front tires, 36 in the rear. But I just dropped it back to OEM like pressures as they caused the tires to wear a little funny.
A/C is on maybe 50% of the time. The rest of the time I just CRACK (not fully open) the window. I try to avoid using the A/C as it slows acceleration.

2007 Mustang GT Manual 21.5 in the city.
93 geo metro 1.0 3 cyl. automatic 35mpg city with ac on
'96 SL2, last fill-up was 25.5 mpg. I guess dropping the tire pressure to near OEM specs really hurt the mileage.
'04 VUE 2.2 30.5mpg last tank, mostly hwy, some A/C use (I can't go w/o on the hwy!)
Went on a nice trip for the holiday weekend in my 93 Subaru Loyale (4x4 wagon, 5sp) and did 37mpg...nearly all highway.
17.8MPG
2000 Ford F-350 7.3L diesel, Auto, Crew Cab, 2 wheel drive, Dual rear wheels.
The over head console said it was 19.9 though.

99 Saturn SL 43.26 mpg highway/36 mpg city
'08 Mazda 3 with 2.0 and auto trans: 34.8 mpg mostly highway, cruise set @ 60 mph, a/c medium.
For those interested in keeping track of mpg on the web, check fuelly.com. pretty interesting imo.

apprx 25-26.7 mpg with 05 TACOMA 4.0L v6, AT, 4WD, Michelin tires@35 psi, Amsoil SVG gear oil, Amsoil SSO 0W-30 motor oil, Amsoil EA air & oil filter, top teir Shell 93 octane gas, FP60, conservative driving.
55-61 mpg with 92 Honda CIVIC VX, 1.5L, 5 speed MT, Michelin tires@35 psi, Amsoil MTF, conventional 5W-30 (soon to be Amsoil 0W-20/5W-30 mix), top teir Shell 87 octane gas, FP60, conservative driving.

50/50 highway/town:
28.78L of fuel, went 238Km.
238Km = 147.89 Miles
28.78L = 7.60 Gallons (US)
So it looks like ~19.5 MPG average on a 50/50 split in the townie.

2004 Civic
294.6 miles; 100 miles highway
9.575 gallons used
30.77 mpg
So using the A/C takes away 4-5 mpg. In the spring I could get 34-36 mpg with the same type of driving. And around 40 mpg if it was all highway, but I'd give up that few mpgs to use the air in this heat and humidity.

2005 civic dx/vp (auto trans)
8/1: 515.2 miles, 12.833 gallons = 40.146mpg

9/2: 507.6 miles, 11.468 gallons = 44.262mpg
mix of highway/city driving w/AC on; I drive in the right lane at or slightly below the speed limit... car has ~55k miles and my running avg mpg since purchase is 42.25mpg
