Overall at 5200 miles I'm averaging a little under 32 calculated and exactly 32 on the onboard computer. Mine is in my Owner's Journal (see my sig) and I keep meaning to add it to Fuelly.
I'm averaging around 27.5mpg I think. I've run through over 30 tanks in 10k miles. I've had two or three tanks as low as 22mpg. But as I said, I do drive it hard. The same thing happened with my other car before I built the engine. After it was built, I no longer found it necessary to drive it so hard with the increase in power. Hopefully the same will be true of the FR-S.

My Fuelly user name is the same as here, or you can find the link in my build thread, which is linked in my sig.
