Also FWIW--
My 5 speed 2.3 1999 wagon has gotten 35 mpg (I measure by fill-ups, not the SID, I believe this is more exact) on Highway trips from Philadelphia to Bar Harbor Maine or Northern New hampshire, with 4 or 5 people at around 67-68 mph on cruise. I get 23-25 commuting by myself in Philadelphia up and down Broad Street, depending on how bad the drive is that day and how many lights I miss.
A neat thing we have noticed. We start out with a filled tank, and it's maybe 5 miles before we are ser in cruise past the 1st toll. We not only watch the mpg rise as the average mph increases on the trip, but after about 50 miles the mileage to empty sertting gets up over 700 miles. In fact, for a period of time, the DTE plus the lies travelled will add up to over 800 miles! Anything to break the monotony on the NJ Pike and I95!
