Completely dependent on your level of self-restraint.

I just did a nice road trip to visit a girlfriend the other day and while cruzing inbetween 75 & 85 MPH (A couple boosts to 100 MPH) I averaged 22 MPG... Not too bad for how fun this car is to drive!

So how is the peripheral port?

I know you HAVE to have something majorly wrong there. I get 20 MPG on my N/a with mixed driving.

My streetported n/a gets about 17-18 on mixed driving and my lead foot and 1500 rpm idle. Could probably get around 22-23 if I stay off of it, which isnt going to happen.

my car seems to work reasonably well.. I average about 16mpg mixed.. as high as 23 on the highway, and my lowest tank (drag + autocross + hard street driving) was 9.5MPG...

Thats a good question that is hard to answer, I believe my BAC valve is the problem. Ive replaced it with a cleaned one, but no improvement. If I unplug the BAC valve though while idling, nothing changes so I thinks its the wiring.
