Default Spyder Fuel Mileage?

What mileage are you guys getting in everyday driving? With my spirited driving, and a mixture of highway and city, I average 20-23mpg only. What are you guys getting?

Are you running your AC? I noticed a pretty big difference between my first Spyder without AC and my current Spyder with the auto climate running. I'm not sure what my actual numbers are though.

I don't why my gas mileage always sucks. I consider myself a 'reasonable' driver on the street. I get my need for speed at the track, so I take it easy on the street. Here's what I get:
17mpg spyder
16mpg Infiniti FX35
15mpg Evo X
3.4mpg Evo X at the track (!)

my lifetime average over 3000 miles is 23.8 mpg

my best is about 32 mpg over 100 mi.

stop and go traffic really hurt gas mileage...

I'm very light footed on the street with the occasional acceleration run. I drive the NSX and S2000 harder - they are more interesting to run up to redline...

I haven't paid close attention but it's been in the mid 20's which is good enough for me. I f ind myself downshifting regularly to listen to the music, I can't imagine this helps but......that sound!

Try to buy fuel without ethanol. You'll see about a +10% bump in MPG's:

Seriously - never considered gas mileage on this car until I read this thread. Checked the trip computer, which has never been reset in the car's 2,700 miles - 16.1 mpg. All spirited driving. As it should be!
