28.9 mpg
Drove to Foxwoods resort & casino yesterday. Total 130 miles. About 70% backroads 30% highway. Averaged 28.9 mpg. I was very happy with that. Didn't call it up on the DIC until I drove into my driveway. Oh yeah...didn't get good mileage from the slot machines..

I'm seeing in the posts below that many are from the south. I forgot to mention that it was 32 degrees here when I took the drive. I'm sure that had some affect on the mileage also. Also had a lot of hilly terrain in this trip..so I am very happy with the mileage I got. Thanks guys for the input!

That's about where I was last November on a FANTASTIC run down to Charlottesville and the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway. 28-29. Some guys claim more but that's the best I've seen. And I wasn't beating it to death but I wasn't doggin' it either.

The wife and I drove up the coast from SFV to Frisco area. 1200 miles. Up the coast. No babying of the gas pedal. Averaged 25.5. I was impressed. On a shorter trip a while back, cruising 70, got 30 mpg~~

But it was worth it. 
The high 20's you got sounds good.
