Generally, with mixed driving 50-50 Local/highway, I get like 300 a tank. If its all highway, I get over 400 (consistantly 39 mpg). Oh, and I have an auto.

LX's are ULEV... i don't know about the older ones... but my 93 ex gets about 27-29 mixed.... i'm glad i'm not the only one... i never get more than 30 typically cuz i drive fast on road trips so i kind aget worse gas mileage
