I got 40.15 mpg (usa a/t sport) on a recent ~397 mile trip on ~9.9 gallons -- I knew I wouldn't make it back to my home gas station pump, so I added 2 gallons out of town and did the full fill-up in home town as usual, so it's legit. That was with 2 people half of the time, and A/C about half of the time. 99% freeway @ 65 mph. I used 42 psi all around. It can do better, but that requires drafting a big truck at 55 mph...

Scangauge claims 35-45 mpg using cruise control @ 65 mph on mostly level ground. The variance must come from slight grades and wind factor and freeway traffic.

Around town, mpg does not look good on the SG, 25ish?
