On current winter gas and 90% City 10% Highway, my V6 gets an average of 21.8 MPG, with a "heavy" foot.

There is at least one other thread specificially about mileage with a large number of responses. I think you'll find it good input.

On my '09 I used to get about 32 freeway at 65-70, and about 18-22 town. In my '11 I get about the same in town, but since I've had it only since October I've only had winter blend gas in it on any trips, and I've only been getting around 27 freeway. I hope that changes for the better with non-winter blend gas soon!

Both cars above are V6 3.6 liter.

I do a lot of highway driving and I'm currently averaging 31.4 MPG.
Usually go ~350-60mi before I get in trouble.

05 ls with 3.5l v6 engine. I have 61 mile commute each way to work that is all highway except maybe 10 miles on each leg. Just got the car but 3 days to work 366 miles, used only 11.2 gallons.....33mpg....so i am going to say well over 400.

My gas gauge doesn't work right but I found an average of 25mpg. That's with a paper route and a lot of idle time. That's after a good oil change etc. Before that I was getting gas mileage so bad peta would cry. Regular driving I could probably attain 30mpg. I have the 3100 V6 too. About 375 miles a tank.

My 2000 with the 3.1V6 - in good tune, with careful driving, I've broken 30 MPG on it (have driven as much as 400 miles, but the last 50 were ever increasingly nervous - especially after the "You'd better be in the gas station RATNOW!" light lit ... )

With my wife driving in town, we get more like 150 miles between top offs ... at about 8 to 10 gallons. Le sigh.

My 2004 Maxx is getting about 24 MPG mixed driving, somwhere around 350 miles to a tank. That's with a bad fuel pump & an air filter that is probably plugged. Haven't serviced the K&N filter since I put it in the car at 46k & the car now has 93k.
