Conservative driving could probably get 30mpg without trying too hard. Like I said above, in a 2nd-gen Intrepid, 28mpg at 75mph with three people and a couple hundred pounds of stuff wasn't a big deal.

This was in a 2nd gen Intrepid, mind you, with a .28 cD. Still, the early ones aren't too bad, either.
