On a recent long drive I averaged 26.5mpg while on level ground - I was at sea level and was on cruise at 75mph. Once I went inland the mpg suffered a bit and I'd say that the average was around 22-24mpg depending on speed, etc.
Wow! That's fantastic mileage. If be happy with anything close to what you got on a long cruise. Hoping for 18+ with mixed driving
