My Zephyr is still in the break in stage under 1,000 miles. I am not getting very good mileage in city driving and I attribute this to the break-in period. I havn't had it on a road trip yet, so I don't know what to expect there.
What is you mileage in city only driving?

Our car has about 500 miles on it. My wife drives it most but when I've driven it in maybe 20%city 80% highway and the computer says 25.5 mpg average
This was on a 60 mile run. I had just reset the computer because when I got into it the computer said 21.2 mpg average. I guess me and my wife drive different.....

You guys are getting much better mileage than i am. I drive about 20% city 80% highway and now I am averaging about from 22.7-23.2 MPG. Mileage is right at 1200. Hopefully I will pick up a few MPG as things loosen up a bit but still not to horrible at this point and well within the estimated MPG figures posted on the sticker.

MPG update. Zephyr has about 2400 miles on it now and getting around 23.5-23.7 on average with the same mix of driving. It appears the mileageis improving slightly now with a few more miles on her. Still hoping to get about 25 or so average but not bad so far. Just need a few more MPG and I am on target with what I used to get in my V6 Accord.

Have almost 10,000 miles and average about 18-20 city and 26-28 highway
That seems pretty good. Its about the same I get in my LS. Have you thought of buying an aftermarket air intake? Your engine *breathes* easier without the factory paper air filter

That would be a good idea. Do you know of a place that sells them? I was also wanting to find a place that sells an aftermarket chip for better performance.
