What kind of gas mileage do you get? Options

[GotToyota]

I'd like to have an idea of what kind of gas mileage you guys get. I'll start:

Year/Model: 1995 GT
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Mods: Stock
Recent tune-ups/maintenance: New spark plugs, Gumout fuel treatment, filter and oil change, Seafoam treatment
Mileage: I just averaged 26 overall on my first tank of gas, this was with aggressive driving, and before the tune-up stuff mentioned above.

The rating for 94 celicas are as follow :

ST 1.8 City: 26-27 Highway: 32-32
GT 2.2liter : City: 23 Highway 29/30

My celica with 250 000 KM+ is pretty spot on with that (even better when I'm careful). And when I mean highway Its purely highway (over 5 hours of 60+). People not getting the proper mileage you just need a tune-up, it's all the same engine...or change your driving habits.

I'm pretty sure I don't need a tune-up. I have new-ish spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, synthetic oil (changed religiously every 3K) EGR valve, thermostat, coolant, radiator, clutch, flywheel, tranny fluid, axles, and probably other stuff I can't remember. the only thing is the air filter has like 12,000 miles on it, but it doesn't appear dirty.

I'm seriously considering using my AFC Neo to pull some fuel at low throttle bewlow 4K rpms. I'm kinda scared though, how much do you think I could do it safely? I don't have a wideband on yet. I was thinking only like 5%.

synthetic oil (changed religiously every 3K)

Why? Even crapy synths are good to 6,000 miles, and the better ones go to 15,000 miles. Get a good quality filter (stay the hell away from Fram, they're CRAP - NAPA Gold is REALLY nice) and good synthetic (Pennzoil Platinum) and change it every 10,000 miles. Anything more frequent is a total waste, and doesn't protect your engine any better at all.
