Everyday commute, I average about 24-26 Mpg, with about 85%hwy, 15% city, and driving hard, and at speeds of 80+ all the time.

From California to Missouri in the winter, with a FULL trunk and 4 passengers, I averaged 28-32 MPG depending on how many mountains I went over on that particular tank of gas...whole trip was at about 80-85 MPH.

I don't check my mileage in town, but I regularly get 33 mpg on the highway with my 3400. I usually have the cruise set at 72 mph.

A flick of the D.I.C says a combined average of 27mpg. Driving is 75% highway. Not driving 'conservatively' by any means.

Average speed reported by the D.I.C. is 42.5

People that ask are surprised that such a big car gets that kind of mileage. They lost out on comfortable & style when they bought that Kia...
