I've seen 21.5 mpg on cruise control at 75, on multiple trips
Recently, after a Milltek downpipe and non-res catback install, I think I'm seeing closer to 22.5, but I'll wait till an upcoming trip in a few days to report more.

as long as you're reporting
first, is that instant or ave? second, off the display or calculated at the pump during a fill up?
reason i ask is that while ave is overly optimistic, instant is totally unreliable...hopping all over the place as it does.
come on guys, let's start reporting some real, verifiable MPG numbers here, if you please.

at the pump and average
average is pretty close to what I see at the pump.
If my fuel display says there is about 10-20 miles left, I fill up with almost exactly 15 gallons at the "click" of the nozzle. If I'm not too hard on a long trip I easily have a 300 mile range to this point (20 mpg), but if I run on cruise control I've seen up to a 325 to 340 mile range, which is 21.6 to 22.6 mpg. My speedometer is 2.5% off when compared to GPS, so my corrected fuel mileage is 21 to 22 mpg.
22 to 23 should be possible at a lower speed under cruise control. I believe someone has reported 25 mpg at 60 mph.
