i flog my car day in and day out and get 22mpg highway and city mixed. its about half and half. i tried to drive it nice for a full tank and made it about 3/4 of a tank before rippin it again. i got 26.3 mpg out of that tank. i only run 93 octane marathon gas. thirty mpg is very easily attainable. i saw 32 mpg on a trip down to charleston sc to see my brother. but i had the cruise set the entire trip at 78 and only made one stop for fuel.

It is possible to see 30 MPG on the highway at reasonable speeds if there is a tailwind. In mixed driving, 22-27 MPG is more the norm in my experience.

Our trip to the NebSHO meet in KC I averaged 30.2mpg, 73mph all the way there, and some slower stuff going through KC and some in town driving. That was with 100 miles (1/4 Tank) off of a full tank of 91oct, then topped the tank off with 87oct.

I typically get 24-26 on 91oct with about 20% city, 60% at 58mph cruising, and 20% 63mph cruising. Yeah I stick to my speeds, and nor cruise control involved. 58mph & 63mph are two different highways, one to work, the other to the girlfriends house.
