Gas Mileage
I've only had my car for about 2 weeks now and I'm loving it! It's pretty darn fast and the MPG is what I I love the most. I noticed if I stay in vacuum and **** at 2K every time while accelerating slow, it shows I averaged 24.6 in town. My last fill up after manually calculating, I averaged 27.4 mpg with 80/20 city/highway driving.
This is how I drive normally; I'm a softy when it comes to treating my baby right for long term preservation.
What kind of gas mileage does everyone get with their daily driving?

93 octane i average 28 mixed city/highway. Just did 300 mi of highway and got 36.1, which is awesome for a low 13 second car. I will never do E because the gas mileage sucks and the tradeoff for the increased HP isn't worth it to me. My friends are amazed at the power it has on my high boost tune and the gas milage i can get on my factory tune. I do as well on gas milage as the honda civic guys.

Hills and traffic will screw ya, I hate a certain hill by me where the speed limit is 30 and 2nd gear uphill feels like **** unless flooring it..

haha I've noticed going back home i can average about 34 due to the slight incline but i can get 36ish going to work because of the slight decline the whole way lol. I can't imagine large hills for the majority of the trip. Gas MPG =
I've always thought E85 would be convenient considering it's easily accessible at every gas station here in Colorado, and the power increase looks drastic. Although, I'm not liking the average MPG you get, even with driving slow, and the cold star ups considering the winter here.

I'd say I'm about 30% city and 70% highway and I get anywhere between 26.5-29.4 mpg in my NA SS. I'm not afraid to get on the throttle either, I don't baby my car too much.
Also, I use the hell out of my cruise control. Generally 70 or 75. Rare ocassions I'll set it to like 57 lol.
