Modified? Any mods that would directly affect the gas milage? zip/naddah
Octane used 91 (can't go lower!)
Milage the best? 26 mpg the worst? 22 mpg; I get typically 340-370miles per tank
Mostly City or highway driving? combination of both.

Did not get all the info, but my last tank I was very happy to get 26mpg on mostly hwy, but some city driving. I tried that tank to shift just below 3k and keep it around 2k as much as possible. I also used 5th gear all the time.

Recently I've been getting 30.5-31.5 in my RS. 
I got a job as a courier, and it's 90% freeway miles. What amazes me is that I can get that much with 5-700 pounds of stuff filling the trunk and backseat!

Year,Model = 05/STI
Mods = NONE... so far
Gas = 92OCT, (shell)
So far, from a fill up... mix with hwy & city... I drove 307 miles on a tank before the fuel light came on. That was about 1/8th worth of gas left.

Best I ever got, and that's with traffic too. And my car's not stock.

MPG:~23mpg on highway
I estimate ~21 in the city. (LosAngeles)
Fuel:91 octane chevron/76
no mods
This car is currently in break-in mode so MPG should be a bit high.
