It was 360 miles round trip and on the first half I got 24 mpg doing 75 with the AC on and cruise control. This included an hour or more at crawling speeds getting out of Chicago. Have not bought gas since I got back - so don't know what the return trip was at 65 mph, no AC, etc.

Like a freight train, I saw this coming from a mile away. Santa Fe -- It doesn't get any better than this! "Like people, every car possesses a unique character, with its own DNA, talents, and idiosyncrasies. Push it too hard and it'll turn on you, as a person would. If it's worth anything, it gets more interesting the more you get to know it."

The trip was rolling hills and about 220 miles with highway speeds around 70-75 MPH. I started with a full tank and, on the way home, I packed it full with 8 gallons. (By "packed" I mean that I put one more gallon in the tank after the nozzle began cutting off.) You do the math: At 27.5 MPG with an eight year old car having almost 100K miles, I was a happy camper. The old '96 Kia Sportage wasn't any better and was a whole lot less comfortable!
