Went on a 1500 mile ski trip last weekend and the car did great. The first two tanks were done against a stiff headwind and yielded just under 25mpg at 80-90mph cruise (mostly 90). The return trip tank came back with 27.4mpg and my average speed was close to 90mph for 500 miles.

There's a 12 mile, 3000 ft climb to the ski area and I had to pull the shift lever to the bottom position a few times to get a downshift to first gear on the slow switchbacks. I had to manually shift to the next gear for upshifts.
