My 8G V6 got 20-22 mpg around town and 24-26 on the highway. Wondering how the 3.8 in the 9G compares.

I know they are rated for 16 city. But my 8g only went as low as 20 in the winter. The rest of the year 22 was normal for around town. That is why I wonder what people are actually getting.

Lower than I'd like to see around town. I wonder how the 4 cylinders do?

Better off getting the V6 for the extra power, gas mileage isn't that different for the I4 and V6. The I4 has to work harder to get the car up to speed. You should get tires with lower rolling resistance, and fill the tires with nitrogen to help keep the tire pressures stable. Both of which increase tire life and gas mileage.
