I think it's easy for the turbos to go under 20mpg given some heavy traffic and some enjoyment of the turbo rush. The best realistic mileage I get out of my '02 9-3 convertible is about 26mpg. It gets over 30 with optimal conditions on the highway, but those conditions never last long. Typically, with a mixed suite, I operate the car at about 22-24mpg, but it can easily dip under18mpg given heavier traffic and less right foot discipline. ...pablo
