On long drives(to and from track events) I average between 26 and 28mpg which is approximately 20% better mileage than I used to get before the new engine and turbo was installed. Also, this is with me TOWING approximately 600lbs via my HF trailer. When I use my tire tail I usually see ~24mpg, but I am driving quite a bit faster too. I don't monitor street driving mileage, but I never go less than 220 miles between fill-ups.
