Fuel economy is hit or miss. I've seen anywhere from 14-20 in the city with no discernable difference in driving habits. On the highway I've seen anywhere from 19-26. Once again, with no discernable difference in driving style, speed, or weather. There is just no predictability.

21mpg is about all you can expect. AWD is partially to blame, as is the relatively inefficient boxer engine.
