Very high 20's to low 30's at steady normal highway speeds, varying down to high teens in city driving with A/C on. I have a really hard time believing averages over 35 MPG unless there's a serious tailwind or the trip's downhill.
My '97 aero averages about 1-2 MPG lower than my '86 9000T *if* you drive it carefully. The trick to good MPG in both cars is to stay out of the boost. Problem is with the newer car that's REALLY hard to do, since the turbo comes in at such low RPM. If you let the turbo have its way on the aero, mileage will drop to the low 20's or worse. Boy is it fun, though! ;^)
