MPG and oil temp

Hey guys & gals-
I'm enjoying having instant access to the data on my VR6, but I'm curious
how it compares.
Two questions:
1. What kind of average MPG are you getting over a tank of gas? My GLX
only has about 2,400 miles on it, so it's not really broken in yet.
I feel pretty good if I get above 22, but I'm also having to get gas
fairly often... Yeah, I know, it varies according to how aggressive
you drive. :-)
2. I saw Abe (I think) mention that he doesn't push the engine above
3,000 RPM until after the oil temp gets above 180. Is this a good
rule to follow on a regular basis? Do others have guidelines on this?
TIA
