Mine was a little bit less since it was a 93 V6 XLE. I would say about 22-23 city, 28-29 highway
 
Depends on the fuel pump I have installed at the moment. I've seen as low as 10, as high as 20. The 10 burned out immensely fast, the 20 wasn't pushing enough to give me any uphill acceleration. Currently, I get 15. Interestingly, they're all the same brand and the same model. QC sucks 😛

Fortunately, the pump is inline, not in-tank, thus making it a quick DIY job. That's the Vandura. Never clocked the turbovan.

22-24mpg - a lot of highway driving and a lot of balls to the wall driving when roads and traffic allow

99 octane?! Sheesh, I wish I could get that at a "normal" price🙁
He's in Europe. 99 octane is roughly equivalent to 94 octane here in the US.

As for my vehicles:

Mark VIII: 26 mpg at 75-80, 20 mpg on surface streets in the city, I average around 24/25.

924S: 25 mpg no matter what. No matter how I drive the thing, it seems to return about 25 mpg. I think it's because of the low gearing.

914: I've never bothered to check. My best guestimate would be that it matches the fuel economy of the other Porsche at about 25 mpg.

CB450SC Nighthawk: Just over 40 mpg. Not that great for a motorcycle, but not that terrible.

35/40 on a 90 Honda Civic DX hatch 5spd. In mixed driving its around 35-37. Engine was rebuilt about 5 months ago, but I believe the mileage was actually better before the rebuild.
 
I only have to get gas once a month, so I've never kept track of mileage... but on average, I spend $20/month on gas.
