gas mileage after doing a few canyon runs

My friend (06 6MT) and I went to do some canyon runs this weekend.... did about 3 runs total.

We were driving pretty hard....keeping the rpms from 4-5k through the canyons.... we were both expecting to come out getting bad mileage on that tank of gas, but the both of us still came out with 22mpg.

Besides the canyon run, on the way back we were stepping on the gas pretty hard too.... flooring it..... down shifting and gasing it some more.

Anyone else have similar experiences with decent gas mileage after hard runs???

I'm not complaining about the good mileage...just seems kind of odd that the engine didn't eat up more fuel after all that hard driving.
