27.89 mpg through just over 60,000 miles - most of those were on the
highway, but most of 'em were at 85 mph, too.

2003 4 cyl automatic = 29 mpg combined city/highway (about 50/50), drops to
27 mpg in winter.

Based on the replies here, you are probably driving like 100 mph on the
highway to get this kind of low gas mileage.

I had to drive thru a couple of small cities on the trip. I guess if I had
not spent any time at any stop signs or traffic lights--my mileage would
have been much better. I geneally drive about 5 mph above the posted speed
limit.
