Automatic tranny? If you have the automatic, I think that is only 1 MPG
less than the EPA rating (I think my standard shift was rated 1 higher
on the highway rating and it is rated at 34), which I'd say is pretty
good given the hilly nature of those roads.
I'll take my first long trip (>100 miles) with mine this coming Thursday
so I'll see how it does.
