Correction - 365lbs, at least for North American models. Two large occupants will easily bottom out the springs, which is part of the reason I've replaced them.

I've taken several long drives lately. The car currently seems to get its best fuel economy in 4th at 40-45kph, at around 42-44km/L (99-104mpg) if allowed to cruise without accelerating or decelerating. I took a drive today of ~30km and averaged just under that for the whole trip.

Yesterday I averaged 33km/L (78mpg) driving 60km each way to take a hike. Speed limit was 100kph but I was realistically averaging no more than 90-95.
