How many MPG do you see?

On the last 2 fill ups, I checked my mpg and I only got about 13 mpg when I drive how I normally do...which is, I guess kind of "spirited". When I drive like my grandmother (no full throttle, coast downhill etc) I get almost 17 mpg. I do about 75% highway and 25% local. I get 200 miles to the tank under "normal" conditions. Is this about right for you guys?

I am about to pull the trigger on the GIAC upgrade, but will I see even worse mpg after that?

Between 17.6 and 23.1 measured (not indicated) in normal driving.
Less than 7 on the track.

Around 15 MPG in town. I did measure around 25 MPG on my 1000 mile drive home when I bought the car.

German cars seem to fair a little on the low side for mileage.

Sounds about right. I average about 13-14 mpg, and only get 140-160 miles to a tank. Since I drive mine daily, I get gas every 5-6 days.

15 normally, 16-17 on a good tank. 12 when I push it.

24 on the road trip home from Dallas.

So I get 120-150 before the fuel light comes on. Grr.
