What's your MPG at 70 MPG?

A lot of my long driving occurs ona roads witha legal limit of 70 mph. I typically do 80 if I'm in a hurry.

Tonight i got 38.5 mpg over miles, never going below 65 but mostly at 75.

How does that compare to others?

With the ac off on mine (month after ima replacement) I get about 35 at 75, with the ac on I get about 30, however, the first week after ima replacement it was around 41 with the ac on,

Be careful about Kia's GDI engine. While they look good in terms of fuel economy they have some other draw backs as well. Just read complains about almost any GDI engine on the net.

We don't drive much at that speed lately with the number of recals the car is having, but used to get 42 or so. For comparison our Prius is around 52-53 with AC on at that speed
