Convertible gas mileage

Hey. I was wondering what gas mileage everyone is getting. I want to know from autos, manuals. BUT tell me your average cruising speed and what rpm and how many miles on the car. I'm starting a new thread b/c we have a different gear ratio. I'll start

manual tranny
13-14mpg
50/50 city/hwy
80mph @ 3100 rpm
3800miles on the odo

Manual here.
Around town I am lucky if I see 15. On the highway about 22 cruising at a brisk pace (pleading the 5th here).
20 months old and I just hit 11,000 miles today...

Just took my first road trip. Averaged 25mpg at sustained 80 mph on Florida Turnpike with top up and A/C on. I imagine it would be significantly better at 65-70 mph.
