I get about 26-28mpg with mostly city driving and an auto. When I was driving back and forth to school and doing mostly highway driving I'd get 30-32mpg, and my personal best was 38mpg on a road trip.

The only way you would get around 30 mpg is if you drive nonstop on the freeway. Not saying it can't happen, but be realistic, you will be getting average 25 mpg and with AC, 3-4 mpg lower.

before i put my stereo back in (like 300 lbs) i got almost 40 on the highway with 17" rims, short intake, & FRP, plugs, & wires.
i usually get about 25-30 mpg, just filled today & got 300 on 11 gallons w/ all my crap!
something is wrong if your only getting 20 mpg. they must be runnnig boost or something. i just kicked over 70k today, & the motor has 40 on it. runs sweet :thumbup:
also i run castrol synthetic, noticed a little better gas from that.

Couple things that will affect your gas mileage. Tires - Affect mileage to a degree, tires with higher rolling resistance and larger footprints will lower your mileage.
How you drive - City driving takes your mileage down quite a bit compared to just cruising on the freeway. Driving in town on the gas and brakes alot also lowers your mileage. When I was driving 2 miles back and forth from my old house to my new house my mileage for that tank of gas was 22mpg.
Right now I've got a 95 GSR which I drive very hard on the freeway all the time, and reasonably hard in the city. By hard I mean the 2ndary runners are open in 5th gear on the highway, and in the city I typically drive 20mph over the speed limit, never getting into the higher RPM's >6k or so. This type of driving usually nets me 25mpg for each tank. The car is tuned properly and the timing and all that crap are set to stock.
Best mileage I've ever taken down was all highway driving to LA on hwy 101 at 120mph. Pulled in 29.8 mpg. I've personally never seen my car get better than 27mpg in the normal day to day driving unless its pure freeway.
My advice is if your counting your pennies just to be able to afford to drive an integra then you need to either make more money or get a cheaper car because you are definalty living pay check to pay check and that is bs. If anything comes up then you won't be able to afford it and lose the car anyway. Gas really isn't that much money (150$ a month for me) so if your worried about that I wonder if you can get the car you want you know what i mean?

I've only had my '99 Integra GS for a couple of weeks, but here's the MPG following the first few fill-ups:
26.07
28.62
24.06
30.28 (entirely highway mileage, 80+ mph)
29.44
I think once I get used to the car and stay off the throttle, that I'll consistently get around 27-28 combined MPG. Most of my driving is on rural highways, not city driving.
The mileage isn't as good as my '97 Civic, but the car is much more fun to drive.
29.37
32.73
28.44
34.59
33.98
33.66
32.33
29.77
28.07
30.41 (last fill-up the week before I traded it in)
