Driving up to Thunderhill raceway in some traffic and some deserted areas, I got 26.5 on the way up and 27.5 and the way back (less traffic). On the track I got 12.5. I wasn't pushing to hard as it was the first time taking the car there.

But all that being said it didn't buy it for the mileage.

Just returned from a Seattle to Portland trip for a track day followed by a couple of work days in the Rose City. The combined hwy/city part averaged 20mpg with about 75% of that being highway miles. I burned 7/8 of a tank of gas on track day and got about 9mpg pushing as hard as I could go.

I've gotten 24 MPG on a long day of cruising with top down and 50 MPH nominal speed on secondary roads.
