24mpg avg. with Tip on the way back from Waterfest. I'm happy with that.
 
Per the onboard computer: 24mpg avg. at an average of 51 mph -- when able I was cruising at 70. NJ to Northern Virginia

Drive time was 5:33mins, man my back was killing me--no stops. I picked up a set of Recaros at Waterfest and I hope to get seat brackets soon and install them.

are you sure? -- if I'm on cruise at 60, I can actually maintain 28mpg on the trip computer.

I didn't use cruise but I kept it around 70 with spurts to 80 and some stops at toll booths...
 
sorry for confusion when I said "cruising" I just meant rolling along. Traffic was too congested for cruise control. 24mpg is what the computer displayed, I'd love to get your 28mpg on the highway.

I didn't but should have compared it to the miles driven and gallons of gas it took to fill back up.

28mpg with the Tiptronic would be great. On my next long trip I'll try setting the cruise around 60 and see what I get.

Thanks,
Chris
