For me it depends. Good weather, city driving = ~15 mpg. Winter (I'm in MN, so I spin my tires a lot and warm the car up) usually ~10 mpg, sometimes even lower. I haven't had the car on the highway enough to really say what my highway mileage even is.

Hmm, gonna try driving at higher RPM, see what it gets me. I guess it's possible, since the engine doesn't have much torque/power at low RPM so it's not as efficient...

Also being gentle on the gas seems to offer very little improvement in mileage. Plus it's just way more fun to floor it anyway, and fun is what I have this car for to begin with.
