Mileage is well covered in the 2nd gen FAQ.

17 at best, as bad as 12. If I'm doing long distance highway, 20-22.

my stock (minus cat) 1986 car gets the advertised ~20MPG doing all highway driving. 550-600KM per 55-60L fill.

the funny thing is it doesnt matter if im going 90 or 130 the whole time, it always gets pretty much the same.
