what are you guys getting for gas milage 2.8l 5 speed

just curious about what other people are getting for gas milage. with a 2.8l under the hood. i have the five speed also. which i think would help with the milage. any answers would be grate i hope its good on gas i just got it for that reason. well that and its a fun car. to tell you the truth i cant really even estamate what it will get for gas milage i have only owend one othe gas job befor and that was a big old chevy that got 5 miles to the gallon. other than that i have always owned diesels. so im not to good with gas jobs. sory if the term "gas jobs" is offensive i dont mean it to be.

I can get 200/220 miles from a full tank. I'll let you guys do the math as your gallons are different to ours!
