I'll echo what everyone else is saying. I rarely go on the highway in the Echo, but when I do my mileage is at best the same as in town, and usually it is worse. Even in my Rondo which is generally a pig doing short trips in town, on a highway trip, I'll often see my mileage increase when I get into the city. I'd say if your getting highway mileage in the city, your doing it right.
