My first tank was 30, then 32. Went through both tanks in about 1 1/2 weeks. I've been babying it too.
I'm at about 6000 miles now and my normal commute is 26 miles each way with an average speed of approx 50 mph. I usually get 34mpg. If I check my mileage after a weekend at the lake house, which is 1.5 hours from home with an average speed of 70 mph, I normally get 37 mpg.
The worst I've gotten so far is 31.7mpg

I've only had my RS 1 for about 2 weeks, but so far my best has been about 36mpg and my worst 28mpg
Can't complain, its funny when I was filling up behind a Hummer H2 and I smiled thinking that the guy is going to end up paying more on gas than his car in the long-run, haha

Toyota should recall the 5 speed transmission and swap in a 6-speed. I hate going down the freeway (speed limit 70mph) at 3500 or 4000 or whatever rpm that is...another gear for freeway use would be awesome...I drive from school to home, 90 miles...freeway all the way. I get like roughly 28-32mpg.

I have to say that this car really could use a 6th gear.

....
averaged 90-100 as well for several hours, ended up with 25. Normally I get about 33-36.
As was talked about before, it may very well be likely that the the speedo hasn't been recalibrated on the xA!!
