Got 27 this weekend on a trip with the girlfriend. Secondary highways at around 80 mph for most of the time and including two passes over the mountains (not big mountains, only about 3,000 feet). Mileage is definitely better now that I have the vacuum system sorted out. (Thought it was good before, but then found one missing line, fixing that found another and eventually like 25% of the lines got replaced.)
With the 21 gallon tank that's a range of over 500 miles with a decent safety margin (567 miles from full to completely empty). Not too shabby for a car that's 20 years old with an owner who likes boost a little too much.
I figure that in the flatlands and on an interstate where I've got more than just one lane to work with I'd approach 30 mpg on a long trip.
