Hwy I usually get around 8.2 ish mpg. In the city I avg 12.5 mpg. Note that this is very conservative driving. Other wise when I'm wot I can reach 25 mpg ect.

Am I the only one that thinks this statement makes absolutely NO SENSE?

It's all about how you drive. If you keep it in manual shift mode you can shift at lower RPM's and keep it out of boost. Another big problem (mostly in snowy areas) is the crappy gas. In Ontario the gas has gas line antifreeze which messes up the mileage. The car is also working harder to warm up. Just yesterday it was about -18C and when I started off the meter said 91.6L/100km. I can get usually around 520km per tank mixed driving during the winter. But in normal spring weather I would always get 600km to a tank, even with the odd turbo hoss here and there. I also usually add about 3 litres into the tank once the pump has first "clicked". This adds a little more to when you have to fill up.
