Mine is not a daily driver so I mostly hit the back roads and drive it like I want. But, there are time I find myself (reluctantly) on the highway. In those cases I set the cruise to 65 mph and have achieved 25 or 26 mpg. It's boring, but it's really not any more boring than 75 mph on the interstate either in my opinion. I don't go faster than that on the highway because the patrols in Ohio are all over.

I've actually been pretty impressed overall with the fuel economy. On one of my recent day trips on back roads I got almost 22 mpg. Considering how hard I was driving it I thought that was pretty good.

Interesting topic. I enjoyed reading what others are doing.
