I'm getting 23.6 mpg according to the OBC. That's with a TS2 supercharger and a heavy foot.... Impressive!
I do highway on the way to work and bumper to bumper traffic on the way home

My obc says 29.4 mpg. I do a lot of 55 mph driving with minimal stops and 0-60 mph runs, and a tad of city driving.

I have not been able to breach 18.4 mpg with mixed city & highway. Right now, after a couple days of just city driving, I am at 17.4. I live in Seattle's Eastside, which has its fair share of hills, but that means that for every hill I go up, there's a hill I go down.
I am trying to get my MPGs up into the 20s for city driving like some of you guys are getting. I have an automatic, 87.5k miles. fixed all the vacuum leaks, but I randomly got a P0444, P0171, and P0174 yesterday, and then it went away in less than a day. Can a bad purge valve cause a decreased MPG? I am going to check the resistance on my valve, and maybe pinch the female leads a little to create a tighter fit.

Another thing, I noticed I don't automatically up shift when coasting down a hill. This creates unnecessary engine braking, which does not help my MPG. Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, have you addressed it in any way?

My ZHP has 131K miles and is a manual transmission.
I get 21-22mpg with 70% city/30% highway. When doing 100% highway, I get 29-31mpg depending on how fast I am going.
