fuel economy(my first post)
I bought my tC as a daily driver. It is a great alternative to all the boring economy cars out there. I should take delivery later this week.
What kind real world mpg do you guys get?

when i drive to school once a week, it is a 125 mile drive, i use half the tank, which is about 17 mpg, ofcourse i'm driving before dawn, and going about 90 mph since there is no traffic, but it is up alot of mountains. when i drive back home, i used like 3/8's of a tank cause of the downhill slopes, and the traffic makes me travel slower, like 70 to 80 mph, i get about 34 mpg. so gas mileage gets really bad if you push that needle into the second half of the speedo.

I have a 07 MY, I drive about 70% highway, I have achieved 27 w/ me pushing the car around a little. 30 MPG with just normal driving.
I may be an odd one, I usually get higher MPG than most ppl.

Well keep in mind the 07s do get slightly better all-round gas mileage over the 05/06s.. we have higher compression which makes for a more efficient motor. And I think our cams might be slightly different too, I say this because the midrange in my 07 isn't as strong as my girlfriend's 06. But the 07s seem to pull harder in the higher rpms.. Could all be in my head though.

I just know while cruising in 5th gear on the highway, her 06 will pick up and take off a lot faster without requiring a downshift than my 07.. it's definately not as strong in 5th around 65mph.
Not complaining, the 07s should be a better car to modify and get more speed out of.. I'd like to see a dyno comparo of the 05/6 to the 07. And a roll race between the two.. I have a feeling the 07 drop kicks the 05/06s in the higher speeds because of the new power curve.
