WOW Thats exactly what I get to.

I just got back from vacation and I averaged 30.4mpg. I made it from the outer banks, NC to southcentral PA on one tank of gas. Had about 25 miles used before we left and had some to spare when I got home. I came close but I didnt get to 400 miles on one tank. I pulled into the gas station and my trip computer range was bouncing around from 0-2 miles.

I just ran through my first tank of gas and got 24.8mpg (tank miles divided by fill up amount, i.e. not the 25.5mpg that the computer said). Not too bad I guess considering I was playing a bit and had the AC on the whole time. My total daily drive is 24 miles hwy (through construction) and 10 miles city streets (many stop lights).

2005 MCS 6 speed manual w/ 66k miles. Alta intake was on for most of the miles as well.

edited to add:
2nd tank = 26.4 mpg (AC on the whole time, computer said 26.1)
3rd tank = 28.2 mpg (AC on ~25%, computer said 29)
4th tank = 29.5 mpg (AC on ~25%, computer said 28.6)
