Yes, whatever it works out to but high thirties. Keep in mind I probably overfilled it more than a gallon after the initial fill up clicked off. All highway going 55 to 65 with 99% cruise control. Very conservative driving style. Two new and two almost new OE size tires on OE wheels with the front tires at 40 psi and rear at 44 psi. No exterior appendages and windows and sunroof closed. Refueled at like 610 miles and the reserve still had some to go.

When I used to take the car on long business trips, she gave similar numbers. It always amazed me. Around town she gives high twenties.

On the first day after a few hours of sitting behind the wheel, I said to myself that this capable little car was just not very comfortable with thee passengers and full load of gear. Over the coming days, everyone else seemed to join in saying how uncomfortable they were compared to our wagon. I guess they've all been spoiled.
