280 something with turbo, 268 n/a (and ran out of gas). I know thats a bit backwards, so don't ask me how that happened.

typically get about 220, but just went on road trpi this week (seattle to portland and back) - got almost 290 - was hoping to break 300 - maybe if I hadn't taken the scenic route on the way back...

Well, my first tank got 227 on it before I got gas. The light hadn't come on yet (around the quarter tank mark) but when you get off work at 11:30 p.m. there aren't many choices for gas stations open so I got gas at the 24-hour station. I got 19.4 MPG (took 11.7 gallons to refill) in about 50/50 driving. I didn't think I would get quite that high since I spent most of the first few trips killing it several times. Plus, also sitting and idling a whole lot (darn rush hour traffic).
