I typically get 25 mpg on the highway, have also seen the high 20's. I drive speed limit +10 mph most of the time with higher speeds in bursts.

If I DE or AX it drops to 10 mpg or lower. :-)

What do you do to get only 235 miles or less?

Ditto here. 12 miles on surface roads, 15 on interstate to work and I get around 18-19 mpg.
