Wow, that's worse than my STI. I'm nearly 100% city driving, but my average is about 24mpg. I drive it about the same as my STI, and that was just under 18mpg average. My RS3 was about the same, but I drove that in dynamic nearly 100% of the time.I have NEVER came close to that...
I average 17 mph but most of my driving is in town...I also have a very difficult time with not putting my foot in the Supras ass...just sayin...

As for the Supra, I'm plenty of being heavy on the throttle, but sport mode is reserved for when I'm hitting the twisties or passing someone, or just feel like being a popping, burbling, angry hooligan.
Highway mileage in this car is absolutely insane. I bought my car about 3 hours away, and averaged 38mpg on the way home - and that included an impromptu race. It absolutely blew my expectations out of the water, since I bought the car during the gas shortage, and was terrified that I wouldn't be able to find gas on the way home, and wouldn't be able to drive my new car very much for a bit. Well, I DID find gas, but could have easily gotten home with plenty to spare.
Back to the point of this post - no idea why they're capable of such insane gas mileage. Must just be the holy grail of power, weight, and aerodynamics. I'm with you - this is the best car I've owned for gas mileage, by far. I certainly didn't buy this car for gas mileage, but it has been an absolutely fantastic unexpected benefit.
Finishing on a funny story, due again to the gas shortage, I drove my STI very gingerly on the 3 hour drive to the dealership to trade it for the Supra. I was extremely conscious of acceleration, minded the speed I was cruising at, etc. Definitely not hypermiling, but definitely trying my best to see what it could do in a reasonable scenario. Managed 23.5mpg on that trip. That was the absolute best I could muster!
