Confident that if I were to run a long time on the interstate, car would easily get into the 30+ MPG range.
I find it amazing that a car w/ this performance can return such great mileage. Remembering the 60's cars of my youth when 10-12 MPG was normal and performance was way less, we truly live in the best of times..

My previous car was an '07 with a 2.3L DI Turbo motor rated with 263hp @ the crank (I think it had around 300hp @ the crank before I sold it). I had to be really diligent in order to get 23mpg out of a tank.
So yeah...I find it pretty amazing, too, considering the 70's/80's cars of my youth.

28-31mpg on a car weighing 3800 lbs. is impressive!
