I usualy get 23-25 mpg on the highway at speeds of 70-75 mph.
what i do is this: i live about 15-20 minutes from highway so i fill-up just before getting on the higway and the car is all warmedup and ready to cruise, i drive 70-75 and have gotten 26 mpg. around town is a diff story, then i think that the smaller engine can get better mileage.
