We got 27 mpg when we drove the car back from New Mexico 6 years ago. We stayed within reasonable speeds for most of the trip, although you can drive a long way in Montana and South Dakota without seeing anyone else. I really haven't measured it since then. My car has the 5-speed gearbox, by the way.
