Absolutely. Between my relatively conservative driving style and mostly highway round trips to work, my overall fuel economy is right at 29 mpg so far, with just over 10000mi on it. This puts the 3.6 behind the 3.5 4AT 2004 sedan that we had- it averaged 32-34 for the same driving. I'm fortunate that my in-town / city driving is very limited. I'd guess that the car would be low to mid 20's in the Chicagoland suburbs (where the '04 got 25-27 mpg).
