Philly and back this weekend. 400+ miles total. Mostly highway with some city driving back and forth from my brother's place to my mother's house, out for meals, etc. Averaged 28.4 mpg. I thought that was pretty good.

I consistently get around 26 mpg with mostly highway driving (40 miles round trip to work and back).

I've pushed up against 30mpg on road trips, but can't quite break the barrier, coming as close as 29.8.... that was at 85mph with the a/c on, though, so I could probably have gotten 30 had I been conscious of it.

Best MPG

I have been averaging in high teens when I am squirrling around, but on a trip down south I ran through a tank of gas with cruse control at 75 mph with the top down, I got 29.6 mpg on that tank, I was very impressed.
