Gas mileage, what you getting?

In my '89 GTU, (S5 mild port n/a, with RB mufflers an presilencer, emission's removed, AC components removed, aux sleeves an actuating rods removed, vdi open, heat-shielded cone air filter, 1/2oz. per gallon premix.) usually the range is from 18-25 MPG.

But with the latest tank, I got 27.6 MPG! Which is the highest I experienced in this car.

On a regular day, the breakdown is probably...
With city driving, I get about 18-20 mpg.
Hwy & city, I get 20-22 mpg.
Out of town RX7 meet or out of town trip, I get 22-25 mpg.

But the latest tank I did, out of town trip, and hwy & city driving.
Averaging 70 mph on the hwy.
And got 27.6 mpg.

Someday...30mpg...someday.
