Highway MPG on AWD
I know this is a beat to death subject but today i ran the my tank completely on highway miles and got 29.3 mpg with the AWD model. I was going about 70 - 75mph with some stretches to 80. Strangely going any slower seemed to hurt MPG
. This is without a doubt the best tank of gas and just wanted to share my results. What have other people been getting recently?

I agree, this car likes to go fast. I have found that on the highway I get about 25 ~ 27 MPG. In the city I get about 18 ~ 20. I used to get a lot worse but I guess the car has learned my driving style? I dunno, but I'm much happier then when I was getting 16 MPG.

What have other people been getting recently?I do alot of city driving with mine so my MPG is nowhere near that, but what I found is that this car is more efficient if you give it more gas to get up to speed from a stand still. Staying under 2500rpm will actually burn more gas as you're stuck in the lower gears for longer. I think it has to do with the rolling resistance of the AWD and the lack of low-end torque on these cars.

I got that mileage without using cruise control, I was moderating my maintain speed based on incline. If it was a descent, i let off the throttle and going uphill i allowed the car to slow down a bit. If i had to pass cars, i made sure i did not overtake too quickly.
