I took my first long trip in my '06 HAH this weekend. I drove from my home in CT to my parents place in PA with some stops in between, a one way distance of 230 miles following I-95, I-287 and I-78. The car had about 150 miles on it when I left and the total trip distance worked out at 506.6 miles. Trip MPG was 35.4. On the return trip, I had the car filled with about 250 lbs worth of books and stereo equipment but still managed to log an average 40.0 mpg for the last 114 miles of the trip. I used the cruise control whenever traffic conditions permitted and kept the speed set to 65-69mph.

So far, I'm really impressed and pleased with the way the car performed. My old car was a 3.0L V-6 Mercury Sable that usually got 25-28mpg highway and barely 20 mpg city. This is obviously a vast improvement and the performance of the HAH is much better as well.
