By way of confirmation my '02 Aero wagon (automatic) has averaged about 23 mpg for its first 900 miles (75/25 highway/city is a guess). I suppose this will improve over the next few thousand miles; but after my '99 2.3 LPT sedan(manual)which hovered around 30 mpg it's a big change.
Since the increase in horsepower from 170 to 250 suggested a change in mileage, I wouldn't have bought the new car if this were completely unacceptable. The question for me (and all of us) is what kind of long-term mileage should we really expect. Another 15%+ would make me happy and would better approximate the company's claims. But the Aero is in all other ways a different and better animal, so I'm not sure how grumpy I should really be.
