My daughter was in a summer program at a college 120 miles from home this summer. Poor thing needed mom & dad's support & encouragement EVERY weekend of this 6 week experience. TGFP! Our tank mpg's were 51 - 53. I figure I did about 55 mpg on the actual trips, a/c blasting, but held it to 60 mph on the interstates. Mileage was better in the evening when the temps weren't so extreme (sunny south). I actually looked forward to the drives, and stayed pretty doggone comfortable - I've had the car for 7 months and have already had the 15K mile service. Lovin' it
