got 28mpg (usa imperial measurement) on a trip up country last year when i measured out of curiousity.
70 mph/roof off cruise most of the way with a bit of giving it to it on some curves/hilly minor road stuff at the end.
2 occupants and luggage.

lot less around town.
not too sure but probably 20mpg or thereabouts.

I just figure 25mpg and fill up at 250 miles. Running out of fuel on a freeway sucks.
