Coo! These things get suprisingly high mileage for being such a big car. I was shocked when I seen my 2004 showing 20/32mpg. My Honda Accord didn't even do that good on gas and it was a 4 banger and had considerably less hp and torque.

I normally run 24.5 in the city. Everyone is very surprised to hear of the mileage I get considering it's a fairly large car.

That was my reaction too when I seen the sticker on my car showing the mileage. I said "damn EPA, padding the numbers, now way in hell does this thing do that good."

If I can do 24 in the city, I'll be a happy camper!
