As long as that interstate isn't stop and go, you'll make better than the quoted mileage. I had one run at 35 MPG with four adults and baggage, mostly at 70 miles per hour. Keep the speed down a bit and you'll do a lot better.

Unfortunately for me, there's not too many of those long runs at highway speed; that 200 mile trip was unusual for me.

Since you're not buying immediately it'll give you a chance to watch a few of us here running Green Lines and see if it meets your needs.
