Since this was an "ultimate range challenge" and therefore also an ultimate mpg challenge, you can be sure the speeds were slower. However, the quote above should give you the information you really want. If you had this car and cruised at 65 mph, you could expect low 50's mpg, or crossing the country in three tanks of gas.
