Depending on how I drive, I average between 22-27 in the 2011 Saab 9-3 2.0T with AWD. Trip computer dropped from 25.2 to 24.0 since November 1, though.

I'm really jealous of you diesel guys.

My wife's '04 Grand Cherokee 4.7/A5 averages 13-14 daily commute (very little highway), and 18-20 on the open highway.

My '92 Cherokee 4.0/A4 averages 15-16 in the summer and 13-14 in the winter daily driving. Highway trips can tip the scales at just about 20 mpg.
