I got about 17 driving the car like it should be driven when it was an automatic, now with the RA gears driving the same way I get ~20, driving conservatively I get ~23

I've gotten my STI up to about 22-23mpg driving like a grandma. It goes to crap if I start having fun though 
Try shifting around 3200RPM and keep it under 75mph on the freeway.

I get crap mileage too - this was before the tune, running Ed's OTS or any map, even stock, I'd get anywhere from 14-17. However, on my very last fill up right before the tune I got 18.5 mpg. I hope that the tune cleaned up my gas mileage - I hope to be getting 20 mpg... but then again, I only drive city... so I'll probably still be seeing 14-17.

My roommate's 06 jeep wrangler (tj?). Lifted on coilovers, bigger/wider tires, full roll cage, winch and front and rear "boners". Hes real LUCKY if he gets 9 mpg on the freeway.

18-19 mpg in my bone stock 00 RS, manual. I drive like a granny and shift at 3-3.5k too. That's pretty sad. I'm happy if I could get past 300 miles per tank.
