Here’s where to discuss anything specific about your standard(ish) car or something that applies to the model in general.

I got 40 mpg driving from Redding California to Portland Oregon driving a DHC FI in overdrive. This would be optimum and is based on the imperial gallon (not US). I was going a steady 50 mph as there was a shimmey over that. Top was up (too hot to put down) and rear window zipped down for resistance free flow through ventilation. On the down side Redding north goes through mountainous territory and I stopped every two hours for a break (off highway small town roads to nearest McDonalds-Taco Bell-Carls' Hamburger joints). I haven't done any other milage checks in other conditions but I'm sure I won't beat that.

Early evening on the Timmelsjoch just across the border into Austria ...

This is how it looks were I live in the NL, taken only a few miles from home ...

B.t.w. the Sprint does between 16 and 27 mpg. Depends largely how it's driven [:D]
