There are lots of 4 cyl cars out there that get varying mileage. We had a Turbo 740 Volvo that never did better than 25 mpg on the highway. A Porsche 944 or 944 Turbo will only get about 27 mpg on the highway. A 1.6 liter Miata on the other hand will usually do about 35 mpg on the same roads at similar speeds. Our '04 Aero gets about 28 ± 1 with four people on board at about 75 mph. If it's just the driver on board and it's above 60°F outside expect over 30 mpg. The gas formulation changes to higher O2 content after about Nov 1 and you'll use more fuel. Tire inflation also makes a difference. You should be running 32 - 34 psig for optimum fuel economy.
