  1. Get on the highway.

  3. Check mileage before you stop, or even downshift.
...and as soon as you do, watch the mpg go down.

That's the only time I've seen anything over 24. Right now I'm getting around 23, and that's maybe 1/3 highway driving. Usually I do well to see anything over 16. Gas mileage is the one thing about this car that doesn't impress me - get on it one little bit, and the mileage =
