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.

I'm not doubting you - we just obviously drive differently. I told you I am an Engineer at a lubrication system Manufacturer [Engineering Manager to be exact] and I'm fully aware of the benifits of synthetic oils [also the downsides] - that's why I use them religiously. But my oil is pretty broken down @ 3K miles and that's why I change it then. You do what works for you.
BTW - Check the viscosity , just with your fingers, the next time your odometer gets to 3K. Be sure to have some fresh oil to compare to. I think you will be able to feel the difference. For people who are fanatical about maintaining their engines like 6strings and I - thats reason enough to change out more often. And certainly never to reuse oil filters.
BTW2 - Just because they drive Supras doesn't make them experts on lubrication.
