Guess the mileage Ford Fusion??

Anybody care to guess what the final MPG number will be?

I have to do some traveling out of town so I rented a car. It a new Ford Fusion with 1000 miles on the clock. Pretty comfortable ride. I'll have it for a week. The driving will consist of 240 miles on the interstate and 4 days of city driving is San Antonio Texas. I've been very impressed with it for the commute home of 25 miles.

Few things to consider. EPA is 22/31
I'll be eco-driving. No EOC no Mods. I'll bring the tire pressures up to 45 PSI. The car only has 1000 miles so tires and engine are not broken in yet. It's a rental so it has every option. I'm rusty. I've been out of the game for 2 years. No instrumentation except the dashboard AVE MPG indicator. This is what I'll get the final tally from and I zeroed it when I picked it up.

All in all this is a very comfortable car and I think it has a lot of potential if attacked with mods and a light foot. Had good numbers home but it was a absolute perfect eco-driving day.
