There is a big difference in gas mileage between when my wife drives it and when I drive it. My wife doesn't take the time to calculate mileage, but I would estimate in the 23 mpg range (mixed driving - either idling or floored). When we first got the car I took it on a "somewhat" road trip (town was 70 miles away, went back and forth 2 times in a weekend) and got 33 mpg. I just filled it up yesterday after doing some mostly interstate driving (3 round trips to a town 50 miles away) and got about 30.5 mpg. The latest one included several short trips and a fair amount of warm up time (it's 30-40 deg F outside). I can definitly see someone getting over 35 out of it if you drive nice on a road trip.
