Default RE: 28 MPG? How?

Just to make sure, I checked my mileage book (gotta keep it for work) I drove -
242.2 miles on 8.534 gallons=28.3mpg @70 mph
231.4 miles on 8.518 gallons=27.1mpg @70mph

most other trips 25 mpg. These trips are from grand rapids mi to southfield mi, including trips to lunch.

I'm at 1649 Miles running regular octane, I get 13MPG - Quit crying.
What the?! 13mpg?! I never got that low in the GT... I hope you're joking around...
I wish I was - Mine still says "12.7MPG" And I have a K&NAF+Exhaust

And you hammer it every single time? Or is it normal driving? Because that is just so not the right territory to be in with a v6 when you are driving normally. Or a v8 for that matter…

I tried driving as slow as my grandmother and the highest I got was 14.8. Most of the time when I drive its around 10mph stop 5mph stop 10 mph stop.... until I get to the freeway. I live 7 miles from work and takes me almost half an hour to and from work. Maybe that's another reason why I'm getting such a low MPG. Manufacturers should add another MPG rating on cars. We should have Highway, City, and So Cal Cities.

I've been getting around 23-24 with mixed driving and I'm not babying it either. I did get about 28 on 1 tank that was mostly highway driving and early shifting.

I feel for the so-cal guys, 7 miles to work and 1/2 hour drive-damn. I go 25 miles in 30 minutes. 60 mph for all but the last 4 miles.
