On the freeway, I get 32 MPG with the cruise set at 65. Around town, I get about 30, driving conservatively. On my commute, I find that I get 27 if I drive like everyone else, zooming and stopping. If I make an effort to minimize braking, and coast on the hills and where ever possible, I’ve gotten as high as 35 MPG on the same route. The car does need 91 octane—it will run on 89 octane, but the mileage goes down, so it is a false economy.

For my short commute I average 25 mpg. Driving longer distances with the top up I get better than 32 mpg.
