I can't get passed 22.4 MPG and I do a mixture of city/hwy driving. Then again, my car is brand new and my foot seems to never let off the gas pedal

I was getting 21-22 or so city, but with my evap mod and weight reduction I'm now getting 25-26 city. I can't wait to go on a long cruise to see what that'll be now.

I averaged 28 on my last tank. Staying out of boost because of MAP sensor malfunction really makes it go up.

I get about 26 with a mix of city and 45mph country roads. How do you guys get such low mileage, you must drive it too hard. I get about 32 highway.

hmm interesting results, i find that i have to keep mine in a lower gear say 4th up to 55mph on hilly rds it helps with gas big time and the highway it is terrible in 5th in any slight incline at 75mph

Best was 36.75MPG (6.4L/100km) with GMS1 on winter tires going from Airdrie to Edmonton @ about 75mph, including some moments of heavy throttle, mostly cruise though. This week my average is about 9.0L/100km with mixed driving.
