MY 2001 base (2.7l).

I got 29.4mpg on a trip to Yosemite and back. Lots of twisties, reasonable speed most times, top down 90% of the time.

Then, took a trip to Lake Tahoe and back. 29.8mpg. Lots of fast sweeping curves, high speed and all, top up 20% of the time (high speed + wind causing windscreen flutter).

Low traffic during both the trips (drove mostly on weekdays).
