mpg is dependent on use and how the engine is operating. with engine running right, on highway you should be in the 28 to 32 mpg. city should be in the 20-25 mpg.

You can look at my sig to see my car's details, but I get 24MPG city/29MPG highway.

(That highway number should be higher, but I only ever drive long highway trips when moving between home and college, so my car is very loaded down.)

Your mileage depends a lot on the city you're driving in too. When I'm in Huntsville, AL I get 24 city. When I'm in Greenville, SC I get maybe 19. I hate Greenville. lol

Ya I can average 30 across a whole tank with my 96. I don't drive much none highway miles. I would guess I am pushing 32 on the highway in the summer. In winter that can fall off to 27-28 but I think most of that is just letting the car warm up.

I average 23 mpg over a tank. I would say 70% of that is in the city. On highway roadtrips I get over 30.
