The average mpg for the same commute in three different cars I've owned:
2003 Nissan 350Z - 24mpg
2012 Golf R - 26 mpg
2016 Scion FR-S - 31 mpg
My commute is 26 miles one way, 21 miles of which is on I-25 with average speeds fluctuating between 80 and 90 mph depending on traffic. I'm actually impressed with FR-S and it's economy. I have no doubt I could average up to 34mpg if I parked it in the right lane and went 65-70 on the interstate. Maybe draft a hyper-miling Prius. But as it is, I don't think it's bad for a RWD car I can also flog at the race track or auto-x almost every weekend.
