I'm getting 29 - 33 in mixed driving.
Lots of people don't seem to want to slow down...but I decided to do it to save gas. In normal driving when gas was $2-$3 a gallon, I regularly got 25 in mixed driving.
Now that I slowed down (I don't go over 60 on the interstate, regardless if the limit is 55 or 65...), and I tamed my driving a lot.
I have tracked this new driving style for 3 or 4 tanks now...and I'm getting between 29 and 33mpg. These cars never cease to amaze me. I used to go 325 miles before the light started to flicker. Now I go 400. That's a 75 mile difference, which used to require 3 gallons of extra fuel that I don't need anymore. Which means, at $4/gal, I'm saving $12 per tank.
