If I keep it down to 60-65, I get into the low 30's. Highest ever was 36. May have been a fluke, but it was at a Flying J where you'd expect the pumps to be in good working condition...so maybe it was real, they were all highway miles at 70mph or so...
That is for sure about the rear ends in these cars. Best I got was 34mpg, and that was doing alot of 75-80 mpg driving from wv to sc. From my experience, these cars arent too quick off the line, but they sure are comfortable at 80.
