Relatively the same here. My driving is more stop and go but my average speed over most of my commute (which is 80% of my driving in the 86) is around 50MPH which seems to be a sweet spot for fuel mileage. Mine is very consistent (as you can see in my owner's journal or on fuelly).

It is also much higher than I ever expected it to be. I was going to be quite happy with the mid 20s somewhere.
