A recent brochure shows 22 city/ 26 hwy mpg for the 2wd 4-speed auto transmission and 21 city/ 25hwy for the 2wd 5-speed manual transmission. Is anyone regularly acheiving 26 mpg?

I'm getting 24.6 in my 4wd, a/t. I'll admitt I'm not "gentle" on the gas! MPG is Fantastic in my book! :D

I am getting 24-25 in downtown bumper to bumper driving in Atlanta. On our trip to Florida I topped off the tank at the onramp and drove until the fuel light came on Cruise set at 75-80 the whole way. When I filled up I had 28.5. I am going to Chicago this weeked I will let you know what I get on that trip.
EX 5spd.

My 4WD EX Auto is giving around the 21/24 range consitently, though on last weekends run to the beach it turned in 26.something. I think it's very satisfactory, though I think I could get a little better if I was lighter with my right foot.
