I see your Avatar is no longer smiling, and is now brandishing a baseball bat.

You drive the car you can best afford, and at some point the cost of gas stops factoring into the equation. If the finances of gasoline makes that much of a difference, you're far better off buying a less expensive car than you are trying to maximize the MPG of the car you have. I mean, we all have a budget and various priorities to adhere to... God knows I do. Fortunately for me, I drive less than 8K year, so that the cost of gas just isn't on my radar.

I drive a 2010 sedan and have had a 3 month average of 23.7. 60/40 - highway/city ratio. My previous car was a 2006 g35 sedan and consistently averaged 21.5 with the same driving ratio. I'm loving the more improved mpg on my newer model. Maybe check your air filters or TB intake for clogs.
