My L03 got 25-27mpg on the highway; I bought it in Ohio a few months ago and drove it home to Texas.

But now that I'm in the city and hammering it WAY too often, that's gone down quite a bit.

flyinlo: how did u get 29 mpg? I was thrilled to get 25mpg last week driving the Pa turnpike northeast extension ,up rt. 81 to Syracuse. On the way back,I got around 21 mpg. I think the difference was that I drove to Syracuse at night with cooler air.
