"I'm averaging between 9-10L/100km (24-26mpg) for highway/city driving. Using 6th gear on the highway helps improve the mileage. When just highway driving, I can get 29-30mpg."

Wow, thats impressive mileage for a 01 "S", what speed do you do your highway driving? I just went through a tank of gas at a constant 78mph and only got 28mpg with my base 2000.
