I once drove the company Colorado (same truck as the Canyon). It's an extended cab 5 cyl automatic with 4WD. Driving a steady 55 with almost all highway miles, and based on watching the gas gauge, I got about 30 MPG. These little trucks are capable of getting good mileage at 55 MPH or slower. Speed up to 65, and the mileage drops a good 20%.
