Hell, I still only get about 21mpg in my miata around town but I have gotten as high as 25 once doing my version of not-quite-so-hyper-miling
Wow in my 94 miata, I almost always see 25+, usually about 28mpg, and it never goes a full tank without an autocross on it. And each autocross involves 3 drivers in the car.
