To give you a bit of perspective in real world driving I averaged a fraction under 23 mpgs in my 550 manual on a 1400 mile journey of mostly highway driving on the way home from my Performance Delivery in South Carolina. AC was on most of that time.
When I did a semi scientific mileage test with the cruise on I got 24 mpg's at 80 mph and 27.5 mpg's ay 70 mph. AC off on that test.
Driving around in the suburbs in an aggressive fashion got me about 13-15 mpgs.
The big thing is how you drive it. The mileage can be decent or pretty low.
