5% city, 95% hwy: 26.58 mpg (avg 71 mph on hwy)
1% city, 99% hwy: 31.08 mpg (avg 72 mph on hwy)
These numbers were with 2 adults, 2 kids and luggage/toys/god knows what. By the looks of it, the '08 will never reach anything near those numbers.

I think it does come close.. remember, 08 fuel economy is different than 07. This weekend in an 08 proves it to me, I have 185 miles on the car on it's first tank of gas and I have almost hit the half full mark. Thats over twenty miles a gallon in city/hwy mix. I won't complain about the fuel economy in it, it could be better, but is just fine for a vehicle of its size.
