My best mpg is 27 mpg with solely highway driving, although WOT for sections. Like some of the previous posters I can't stay out of boost to save my life. I normally fill up around the 180 mile mark.

My 90 Laser gets great mileage. I'm averaging 35mpg on the stock block with 287k miles on it, and I beat on it regularly. It's too much fun, I can't hold back!

The FWD's weren't too bad on gas, my 90 TSI FWD got high 20's, low 30's religiously (god I miss that car). My old AWD Laser got between 25-27 on the highway, and I think we may have even touched 28 in my brothers old 90 GSX. My current 90 GSX however gets about 13-15 around town but Im sure I can pull at least low 20's on the highway. best I've gotten out of a tank in the evo was 225 mixed driving, Ive yet to take it on a road trip with a good clutch but i got a hunch that may be coming.

mixed driving 260-270, reasonably regularly. Best I got was 320, but that was lean and without a tune. Mostly around 21-23mpg, with 26.5 best hwy trip.

Ive been getting around 200 -225 on my 11 X. I really thought there was something wrong. On the highway the best i've gotten was 24 miles to the gallon. It usually runs around $60 a fill up for the 93 octane. I bet it'd be much better but driving a little slower but its this car isnt meant to be driven like that. Too bad 80MPH runs around 4K on the tach

Best I have gotten was 342 on a long freeway trip. I averaged it out to 28.5 mpg and that's the only time I have ever gotten that good of fuel mileage.
