Nice! What kind of driving was on the tank?

I get an easy 25mpg with %75 highway and %25 city driving.
My brother maxed the car out at 30mpg all highway and I was close second with 27mpg highway and with about 400 more pounds in the car.

Probly 85% highway. And it was 91 octane ethanol free. I unfortunately just filled up with 91 with 10% corn and i see a difference. Anyway, my regret about getting the car is like gone. I can deal with 2 mpg less than my Camry. BUT do know that the mileage gets really bad above 65mph. That's gonna suck on road trips. But whatever. This car won't last more than 4 years I ak sure... I am pacing for 45,000 per year and that would mean 240,000 at 15 years old

I rarely experience "city." Here, I deal with either highway as in the Eisenhower interstate system, highway as in rural 55 mph roads, or suburbs. 30/35/40/45 streets near shopping and housing tracks. Never city like stopping more than going Manhattan style. So my worst is like 22
