Mostly highway 400, 6-speed, I'm running 22 mpg on 93 octane
I drive 95 miles a day, and shift around 3k most of the time. At the end of the drive, I run it from start to redline in 1st and 2nd once or twice a week to keep the carbon burnt off the valves, and exercise the turbos / wastegates / have fun. I never drive over 3k when the oil temp is below 150, and I drive for 2 minutes after I redline it before shut down. Oh, and I haven't run the a/c compressor much in the last few weeks. My Goodyears are pumped up to 42, and I check them biweekly. I try to find a spot to run fast enough to make the car settle from level 2 to 1 (84-92 for 30 seconds). So far twice in 8k miles.

with my 6 speed in chipped mode (APR) 75% city driving I get 320 miles...
Now I let the walk light come on before I fill up. I figure my own milage and get about 21 to 22 mpg. I get a little worse milage in the unchipped mode.
