Fuel mileage seems pretty good, what do these usually get around town? That's where most my driving will be at
depends on driving habits. probably around ~18 or 19 city

C'mon, man! Asking about fuel mileage from others is like asking what's the best color. But I will say, if you're stopping at lights every 1/4 mile or so and rolling along at 30-45 in between, you'll likely see about 16-18 as mentioned. Hot-*******, more frequent stops, etc and it'll be about 14-16. Open highway cruising, pump-to-pump, hand calculated (the typical onboard reads about 1.5-2 MPG high) at about 1800 RPM and expect to get about 26 MPG if she was maintained well.

I don't know about 18/19 city lol. Maybe combined. I do about 65/35 highway/city or maybe 60/40 and I get about 19 if I drive normal (punch it only every now and then).

If I drive like a bat out of hell, even with a good amount of highway use I only get 17ish.
