+1, on several all highway road trips per year, using the tank fill ups and arithmetic method.

My OBC mpg readout has only been reset three or four times in 106,000 miles and it currently reads 20.4 for a long hunk of miles.

Around town, short shifting and driving Miss Daisy, it is less.

Getting more than 21 in a 5 spd, even on highway trips, ain't gonna happen over a tank or two or more, in my experience. At $2 and change a gallon, even for the Premium fans, who cares.
