2013 6MT.

I drive it like I stole it any chance I get though. I never get good MPG in my cars other than our Suburban which I actually get better then average 15.9mpg. But that is because it's a tank so I drive it like a normal person.
My commute is about the same and yes I do have fun with the car so my numbers match your numbers

Wait, "worst" of 24.37? I get that on a good tank. Maybe.

Just over 300 miles on the ODO, on the 2nd tank and I'm creeping the average up to about 26.5mpg. Manual 2017 BRZ.

Being sensible on a long trip 30mpg looks quite doable, being sensible on a mix 27-28, anything else (city/being crazy) I would imagine closer to 22.

A couple years ago when I commuted for hours on a freeway everyday I got up to 33mpg.

Now my commute is much shorter and I drive more aggressively and get around 24 mpg give or take.

E85 about 14

Good I am glad someone else drive correct. If you are gettin 30+mpg on this car you are driving slower than a Prius!

26 when I bought the car
24 when I switched to E85
21 with AVO turbo on gas
??? With AVO turbo on E85, have not tuned it out yet.

Not true at all. A lot of factors come into play like tire model, tire size, tire pressure, and the road condition/smoothness just to name a few. It also just means you commute on freeways more than you drive on B roads which not everyone can control.

I went 80-85 on the freeway when I was hitting 33mpg which was much faster than most pruis drivers.

Adding tunes and all these other mods will affect your mpg, don't assume how someone drives based solely on their mpg because you don't know. Stock twins can get pretty good mpg with no mods and doesn't mean they are driving like a granny.

It was all city driving TBH. I drive 80-85 on the interstate 30 miles each way, everyday. Average 27.18 MPG right now.

I get 32.
My average speed is 75 mph.
98.5% of my driving is highway with 45 minute to 3 hour non stop runs two times a day.

No doubt you were joking but fuel consumption and speed have very little to do with each other. How you get up to speed and how often you have to stop and accelerate back to that speed has far more to do with it.
If you feel the need to jackrabbit from each start to get satisfactorily low mileage does not mean you are "driving correct" or that the guys with better numbers are driving wrong. This is completely why comparing mileage is a fools game.

So far I get 29 MPG in the winter and 31-32 MPG in the summer. Average is 30.5 MPG. How I drive depends on traffic and weather. My route is mostly rural highway with one or two stop signs.

And yes this is the umpteenth time this thread has been made.

When he says “driving wrong” I think he means driving like you own a Prius. As in, accelerating slowly with your goal being to get the best MPG possible. I don’t think he literally means you are doing something wrong. If you get over 30 in city conditions then you clearly aren’t driving it like a sports car. And I kind of agree with him... that is all wrong. Hahaha
