Average Gas Mileage for 2000+ SE crowd
I figured get everyone'* info. on the L36 N/A gas mileage also....
I get on average 23... which comes from an average of 400 miles/tank.
Just wondering if this is low or high, and also can be compared to the L67 topic, which i am curious about gas mileage between such similar engines.

I have been doing 140 miles a day for work, doing about 420 miles per tank. 2 tanks ago, I got an average of 29 mpg, 85% highway driving @ 73 mph.
The last tank was 440 miles, averaged 28.5, 80% highway @ 73 mph.
I know this car can do better.

Mine is also the larger gear ratio... this may be why my MPGs are lower than others... my RPM'* have to be higher in the final drive.
