My 05 AWD does great int he mountains or on any twisty road. Unusally I stay above 32 MPG if I am on 2 lanes. As soon as I get on the freeway I hear that giant sucking sound and my MPG drops, usually to 27 or so. Of course this is on Ca. Gas which is widely believed to give about 10% MPG than 49 state fuel.
