Li'l Sebastian flirted with 30mpg during a ~300 mile road trip the other day. I think the final number was 27.8. Not bad, especially for a boxy compact SUV.

I have left the running average alone since day 1. Mostly city driving with an occasional highway trip to visit parents. (about 30 miles total) My running average is at 25.4. With less than 2200 miles on vehicle.I don't even have my BB yet, but we need some data from the field.
Please post the MPG you are getting and the driving conditions. It also might be helpful to summarize your driving style from lead foot to old lady.
Thanks,

I've heard the horror stories about Virginia and speeding tickets, so I don't blame you for keeping it at 60. Anything less than 70 out here and tractor trailers will be passing you and expressing their displeasure so I'll never see numbers that good ever, but at least I'll get there faster!35.6 mpg on a recent all-highway trip using Eco mode. This was the return trip home, all on the same tank of gas. So I travelled a total of approximately 380 miles and still show 156 miles to empty, or roughly 536 miles per tank.
I set the cruise for speed limit plus 5, so this MPG was achieved while driving between 60 and 75. It also includes a few miles of city driving to get to/from the highway.I've heard the horror stories about Virginia and speeding tickets, so I don't blame you for keeping it at 60.

Pardon any assumption I made, I was basing it off your cruise control set speed (60 mph) and on your trip meter which averaged 61.65 mph after doing the math. I just didn't want people wondering why they aren't getting 35 mpg since average speed is the biggest factor. I see about the same mileage at 60 mph, and it drops to about 28 mpg average at 70 mph, and to about 25 mpg at 75 mph.I set the cruise for speed limit plus 5, so this MPG was achieved while driving between 60 and 75.

The vast majority of those miles were spent at 70 mph. I’ve since made this trip again with similar results. If you spend enough time on the highway at a constant speed (70 mph or below) you’ll easily get at least 30 mpg, especially if you increase tire pressure above the recommended.I just didn't want people wondering why they aren't getting 35 mpg since average speed is the biggest factor.
We are all driving bricks, no areodynamic's.At 2900 miles im at 25.4 mpg overall, for some reason highways 65-75mph I get a severe mileage decrease compared to county highways at 55-60mph up here in NY. City/local I average about 29, 65 mph + Highway is 24-28
