The T7 I have gets better milage than the T5 I have always. That being said, tire pressure, oil cleanliness, hills, wind, drag from stuff on the roof, gas quality and type, trip length, and driving style all affect it.
The biggest things to me were tire pressure and having stuff on the roof.
I recently ran into an issue where my highway mpg was actually lower than my back roads mpg. Turned out that the shock combo I had forced the rear of the car down causing extra drag at speed. Long story. All set now.
I only get about 28-31 on the highway whereas my wife's T7 gets about 2mpg more on average.
Around town I get about 23mpg if I drive real fast or about 27mpg if I drive sanely.
