okay back.. 250 miles. First fillup (with 1 week of stop and go work driving added in) was 22 mpg.. Speeds up to 85 mph.. drive home. most highway at speed limites .. 29 mpg. Car performed flawlessly! A guy we met was floored at the paint job of it and as couple we drove while there is gonna get one they loved ours so much..

Wow flyingn! That's great! I think that 29 MPG is the highest number I've seen in all the reported values. Just when I thought I should have got the V6...hahaha

 

[flyingn]

actually seadragon we got 30 mpg twice already

 

[Guest]

We have the V6 and averaged 29 MPG when we went on our 1400 mile trip. We were shocked that a V6, using regualr gas got such great gas milage.

 

[Guest]

Yup,

It is utterly foolish to get the 4. Yes, I have the 4 and it sickens me everyday.

Well they don't all get 29mpg.. I just got back from a ~1500mile trip and the best I could do was 25.7mpg. I still consider this good, but I don't know how people are getting 29 unless they're going 55mph for the entire tank. Do you guys have the 4wd or 2wd? Mine is 4wd. Oh and I had 4 people with luggage in the vehicle for half the trip and 3 people for the other half. Cruising speed was generally around 70-75mph using cruise control. A/C was on because it was almost 90 degrees the whole time.

 

[JIMD4]

26 MPG with 3-4 people and gear at 70?

I would call that fantastic

 

[flyingn]

and with the ac on?? Id say thats very good...

That is why I said I'm happy with the mileage I got on the trip. I was just wondering what the circumstances are when people are getting at or above the rated highway mileage.
