Actually, my OBS (same weight as an RS basically) is getting somewhat worse gas mileage than my RS in similar driving. Mainly it's been freeway, as the OBS won't make it uphill in 5th above about 4500'. 4rd gear isn't so great for economy... also I haven't finished bringing the maintenance up to date. After I do plugs, wires, fuel filter, oil change, and clean the air filter, it may pick up a bit.

13.2 gallon tank + 23mpg highway FTL.
