In the past I have gotten as high as 35mpg with my 2000 9-5lpt automatic Sedan. Of course, I was driving a steady 70mph on the expressway with no A/C running, but even on my daily 95 mile work commute I could get 30mpg consistently.
Recently my mileage has dropped to 26 to 27mpg. My car now has 211,000+ miles, the fuel is blended with ethanol rather than MBTE, expressway speeds here in MI hover around (routinely exceed) 80mph, and I am running slightly lower tire pressure to get full treadlife from the entire tire width.
I guess I shouldn't complain.
