What are some real world MPG numbers for a 242?

Assume very well tuned with the following mechanicals:
M45 4-speed manual transmission without OD
No power steering
Has air cond.
2 door coupe.

Thinking about a purchase for my wife and while the car is cool, getting good gas mileage is also cool. I'd having trouble pulling her away from her camry which gets great mileage. My wife is never really impressed with the mileage I get with the wagon and she's sort of convinced that all 240's are alike with respect to mileage.

Looking forward to some real world numbers for Highway and City MPG.

Thanks,
-Greg
