What's everyone elses gas mileage?

I'm getting an average of 17mpg (about 220 a tank) and I drive the car like a grandma (not bogging the motor though). I drive 65 on the highway staying out of boost and feather it in the city. I also have a Cobb OTS Stage 1 tune.

I've decided to drive a bit more aggressively on this current tank to see what happens and so far it seems I'm getting about the same gas mileage as when I feather it

lol, i drive aggressive about 95% of the time. I average 80mph on the highway, and i can still get decent gas mileage. Highway driving i can get around 400miles while just cruising around 80.

In the STI: around 16 average with just a cat-back. Best I got going to Buttonwillow was 23mpg, while at Buttonwillow Raceway, 9mpg.

In the WRX: around 24 average with stage 2 and full exhaust. Best I got was 26 oddly with my bikes backed and AC threw the valley. Worst was at Buttonwillow Raceway, 10mpg.

Car Info: AW Pig-STI
06 STI, EL headers, catted DP, 3" modded Cobb exhaust, tuned by Mike @ GST

mostly commuter duty (and I drive like a granny then), avg about 19 - 20 MPG per tank. i have a huge spreadsheet that i won't bother posting here...i'm OCD like that and have tracked gallons / trip since day 1 (bought new dec 06).

worst was mid 15's when i was really aggressive for a whole tank, and best ever was mid 24's when i was gas station to gas station (literally) highway only.
