For reference purposes, I just got 101 miles from 5.4 gals of gas. This included some highway driving (70-80 mph) a bit of stop and go traffic and a boat load of dyno runs!

Typically 70% highway I get about 23. Best I've seen was 27, all highway, running AC, and cruising around 80... minimal boost. Hoping the recent airflow mods will save a few bucks when driving like I have some sense (once a month 
).

Oh, I'm getting 21.2 to 24.2 based on how much I floor it. 3/4 highway usually.

Oh and I also drove from FL to NY and back last month, and 100% highway I got 24 mpg averaging around 85 mph.
26mpg on the highway going up to Tampa and back, no a/c. Normally it's 20mpg or BELOW. It's gotten worse since I've gone to a turbo back. Seems like the car gets better gas mileage completely stock.
the light came on this morning, so I filled up at 2.72 a gallon. That equaled out to 12.1 Gallons. I had pretty much 300 miles on the tank.....~25mpg. Mostly highway, but maybe 5-10 WOT runs

guys tuned the AEM so it would run like crap at all speeds, idle, part open throttle, cruise, etc. The AEM must be properly mapped for everything.....BTW, I checked my mileage again recently. I managed almost 22 mpg in my daily commute but that was with careful driving and not WOT.... A few days before them, I managed a little over 24 mpg on a highway trip from Atlanta to Macon. That was driving relatively conservatively (75~80 mph) and not too many hard accelerations or stops...
My old Miata gets around 26~27 mpg combined city/highway. The other nice thing is that I can use 89 octane gas....
