At 60mph on the freeway it rumbled along at about 1700 rpms. A rough estimate of a 400 mile freeway only trip suggested 40-45 mpg driving 55-65 mph mostly with cruise control on.

[EDIT: 2.4 liter engine and EPA 22/35]
That is pretty awesome results for justexercising restraint with the loud pedal....great job
