My wife normally drives it and gets around 17 in pure city driving. I dove it myself for a full week. Over 400 miles I averaged 26. Obviously that was a lot of highway, but much of that was Houston rush hour and probably 15% was city streets. I got about 31 on extended 70 mph cruising.
On my one long highway trip to date (around 500 miles total) I averaged 25 MPG(us) according to the dashboard display. I consider that decent for a 4,000 LB car with AWD at 75 MPH or so.
Surprised no ones mentioned how many miles are on their car. The first several thousand are all 'break-in' not for performance but for efficiency. I recall it taking me close to 5K miles on the ODO before the 3.5 went from a solid 15mpg to 22-24mpg depending on driving style. Also keep in mind variables such as vehicle weight (add-ons), weather/temp/environment, tire inflation, quality of gas etc.
