Mixed-mode driving = ~26mpg -- Of course it's heavily dependent on one's mix of driving, how heavy on the throttle a person is, how much overall highway time is part of the mix, the terrain, etc. On the Mazda 3, I've often gotten 22-23mpg for the same essential driving style and mix of roads. IIRC, the old Miata (1.8L) averaged about 26mpg with a mostly-city mix of roads.

Highway trips = a bit over 30mpg -- With more than 95% at 70-75mph and <5% tooling around for gas/food/lodging. At 65mph, it bumps up another couple of miles per gallon. Not all that bad for a "SUV" ... though, I also was hoping for a bit better. Still, it seems comparable to most of the more fuel-efficient cars of similar type. Noticeably better than most of the bigger, heavier ones. Seems to roughly match the EPA estimates for fuel-efficiency (from the window sticker).

City-heavy trips = ~23-24mpg or so -- A bit better than the EPA estimates, but many of the "city" streets I do are fairly low speeds and a sedate pace with the other traffic around (not a lot of hard accelerating). Almost exclusively flat, for the "city" roads.

Lead-foot "bomber" mode = single-digits mpg -- Nothing like seeing how 100mi of appallingly "heavy" use of the throttle and "Sport" mode weighs on the fuel-efficiency, though. Great performance, very zippy acceleration, but jeez it does start chugging the gas. Thankfully, I mostly drive like a "granny" anyway, so it's little loss.
