What MPG are you getting?

I have been a bit underwhelmed with the MPG on the freeway. I have never gotten 30 mpg on an all highway trip, even if I set the cruise to around 68 mph and just me in the car (I did that just for a test over 200 miles). I usually set the cruise at 72, since the speed limit on the west side of the state is 65 and the computer and my calculations are usually in the 25-27 range.

I recently took a trip on an open interstate going east (70 mph limit), where I averaged about 75-80 mph and it was around 24 mpg. I did have a bit of head wind, too.

I have been better with the in-town driving, where it is about 20 mpg.

The car is pretty much always in ECO mode and I only use premium fuel.
 
That seems a bit odd @Chris92SE. 24mpg on a highway trip? Even with traffic and stop/go, I still (personally) see 27+mpg on the highway. If there's no stop/go, then I see 30+ all the time.
I think that was because of the speed (75+) along with a headwind of probably 25 mph.

Still, I haven't been getting 30 ever. I do have an AWD, but I generally drive alone and use the cruise a lot. I don't have adaptive cruise, but I have the Premium with everything else.
