The number I posted is for a 2WD 3.3 GC SE on E10 89 octane gas.  Today I 
did some around town driving and it dropped back to 22.0.  I calculated my

average speed via the trip miles and elapsed time displays and got about 
33MPH.  I normally still set the cruise for 54 on the highway for my 86.2 
mile round trip that I take twice a week.  The rest of my trips are so
short 
that the engine barely gets to operating temp before it is shut off again.

I plan to start using the non-ethanol 87 octane gas even though it is 10 
cents more expensive here as it will take less than a 1 mpg improvement to

make up for the extra cost.  The grades here are 87, 89, and 91 with 89
and 
91 being E10.  Currently 87 is $3.489/Gallon and 89 is $3.389/Gallon
