Have had the car for 6 years almost. Have averaged Summer 90% highway 46-50 mpg. I have a light foot and found the cars sweet spot. Winter, the colder it gets the lower the mileage. I have 4 studded winters in place, and anywhere from 37 when 0-20F most of the time to about 43 when warmer. Unfortunately in the garage right now with the balancer shaft chain issue. so I am getting really good mileage right now.
