Turned over 43k this weekend and averaged 28 MPG on our trip to Louisville and back. Could’ve done better, but we ran the A/C, had the car crammed full of stuff , and encountered a lot of dumb Louisville traffic. That, and my friend whom we stayed with drove us for a while and he drives “in a hurry” to say the least. And, I averaged 80 MPH or so all the way there and back. The little 2.0 SkyActiv runs 2,600 RPM or so at that speed.
^^ And have a photo of my wife’s uncle’s Porsche since it was creeping in the background.

28 MPG? Must be nice.

I was slightly disappointed. We have averaged 37 on a trip before. That was a longer drive (to Indianapolis), though.

Best I’ve ever got was 31 on my wife’s car. I once got 41 on my Civic... those were the days.

My outback hums along at about 3,000 rpm at 80 in 6th gear and turns about the same mileage.
