 While milage drop during the winter 24 city / 32 highway, it gets good when it worm up.  Last trip from Iowa to Salt Lake City I got 36.7 avg while using cruise control at 80 mph.  Comming back I drop the speed to 72 mph and use my skill to see what can I get out of this car.  My average was 40.6 mpg. Now that I own this car for few year, here is on update.  I am steel happy with the car but...  there are few annoying things about it that I tolerate because i old now. You must be patient when you starting up the car, it takes couple of seconds before is ready.  The seatbelts are hard to close and open because of positioning.  There is hesitation on acceleration.  It takes very long time to warmup.  The electronic steering make you work harder to keep the car on the road.  The gas mileage depends on the driver.  It seems that car adjust to the driver driving style and it takes some time to reset to your driving style.  Overall I am steel happy with the car and recommend if you can live with the limitations.  It is a old men car.
