I have a CC 3.9 V6. I think my driving is pretty much 50/50 highway/city.
I have been tracking mileage meticulously for the past 6 months. I have
driven 8,536.1 miles and puchased 481.91 gallons of gas. Thats 17.7 mpg.
If I really tried (kept it at or under 70 on the highway) I could do better.
I realize that's not exactly what you were looking for, but if a V6CCAuto
can average almost 18 then I don't think it's a stretch to say a 4cyl 5spd.
can average 20.
HTH and good luck!
