I'd like to point out that I average about 30mpg highway, as high as 31.6mpg to date. My car is running on a tune that borderline dumps fuel into the combustion chambers; I have literally had liquid droplets of unburnt fuel come out of my exhaust before. If I weren't too lazy to re-tune the car (and wanted to give up my top end) I could re-flash the ECM in about 10 minutes and get much better fuel economy; I'd say I could probably hit 35mpg highway with a fuel-economy-oriented tune. Of course, I'd have to take off my "enjoy your prius" sticker if I did that

I've gotten as low as 10.5mpg city, as well; my ej1 would've done just as poorly as I was actually sitting at red lights more than driving for that tank (and the many more before and after).
