Hey, it's still better than my abysmal 15mpg with mixed city and highway driving. And I don't even drive with a heavy foot!

At least you get some sort of enjoyment out of it.
The Volvo's fine for cruising but sometimes I want something that handles!

Hey, don't feel too bad. I've got an I6, and mine gets worse mileage that a viper. I can do about 15-17mpg as long as I don't get much over 55mph, but once I start cruising at 70mph the fuel consumption is pretty abysmal. I still find it very annoying that my dad's full size truck averages well over 20mpg on freeway slogs and I can't come close in something that weighs half as much.
I considered dropping in a diesel but there's not a whole lot available over here in the appropriate size/power range at the moment. Dropping in a 5.7L hemi actually improves the mileage over what I have, so I'm thinking of doing that. You know, to save the polar bears.
