I've never done the actual math, but my SID routinely quotes 35 MPG on road trips. That is at 70-75 MPH and with the air on. I have seen it go as high as 37, but that was at around 60 MPH for only about 30 miles.
My car is a 1999 LPT. I suspect the newer models with more HP and the Aeros with the bigger turbos probably don't do quite as well on gas mileage. Still, 30+ MPG for a pretty good sized sedan that can pass most other cars at highway speeds like they are standing still is nothing to sneeze at.
