Fuel consumption will vary with driving conditions (wet roads use  
more power, the water drags on the tires), cool damp weather gives  
more hp from the water vapor in the air, AC use (climate control,  
remember, it's automatic) can use a mpg or so, idling time, number of  
hard acceleration runs, fuel BTU content, lost of stuff.

Filling can make a difference, too, as some pumps run faster than  
others and make more foam in the tank, shutting the nozzle off sooner  
so you get less fuel in the tank.

I get from 30.5 to 32 mpg on the 300D.  Lower when the roads are wet  
and/or partially flooded (that water standing REALLY drags), best is  
when it's about 38 and foggy.  I expect the milage to drop to 29-30  
when I get the AC working.
