It varies from 25 to 27, with mixed city and rural driving (I live in a rural area, but drive 90 miles a day into downtown Milwaukee). My driving style has been described as "Spirited". > Are you also aware of anything I should look out for when choosing? Unless you're keen on changing timing belts every 30K miles, avoid the V6. The ventilated front seats sound silly, but are very nice on a hot day. The trunk holds more than it looks like it would, and I've had no problems of note (car is at 65K miles at the moment). I'd buy another one if this one were wrecked, so I guess that says something. The LPT engine "only" puts out 170 BHP, but it's certainly more than sufficient for enthusiastic driving. Some day I might buy an upgraded box, but it hasn't become a priority yet. I think you'd find it nice, but I've never owned an NG900 to compare it to so I have no direct comparison. Dave Hinz
