It would consistently cruise at around 50MPG at 60 mph.
Try going slower and it might really pay off.

Yup, slow down where you can. Even though the drivetrains may be the same, the Xb(oxy) shape hurts it on the freeway.
Also, EOC and Pulse-and-Glide don't work as well with the Xb because the "coasts and glides" don't have the same payback,
.
You can still get great MPG in the Xb, it's just a tougher nut to crack.
