I regularly drive upstate on the weekends from NY (2008 3.0) and almost always average between 24 and 27 mpg. I think that's pretty great considering I'm coming from a Honda Ridgeline where I was barely making 20. Oh, and I also tow a 4000 lb Airstream a few times a year and get 14-15 mpg. Yes, the torque is not neck breaking but it all works for me. I love this car.
