On my way to work, there's a lot of stop and go. I averaged out 6mpg on premium, lol. But on 45 with no traffic, it's MUCH better.

21 mpg 's mixed driving . I heard some where to improve mileage don't go above 60 mph . For every 5 mph over 60 you lose 10% of your fuel efficiency or something like that

I think my brother got like 16-18mpg in the City and 27+mpg on the freeway. C5 M6 (LS2 427, etc..).

He didn't beat on that car all that often though so gas was always being saved.

If it has black wheels on it and is REALLY loud it's probably Matt (Lil Powell). His 997TT is black with black wheels. There is a guy name Tim that lives off of Dixie Farm Rd with a black GT3 (use to have a car like mine, almost same wheels as well) that use to haul *** everywhere and pulled some un wanted attention to my name LOL. Could be him as well. Matt goes to the LA Fitness there so it could be him. Would actually be happy that he is somewhat using the car normally he won't even go 5-10 over. "I don't have a radar" is always his excuse although he owns one LOL!

Generally, 20 city if I am feeling spirited and around 24-25 if I am cruising and I have logged up to 33 on the highway, 6th gear, at around 65-70.

There is a lot of factors.
