I think you could easily get 27MPG if only doing 60. As kind of a trivial experiment, I totally babied it for 2 days of round-trip commuting, 60 miles total. Super slow acceleration, shifted at/before 3k RPM. I averaged 27.1 mpg. I say trivial because 2 days of driving that slow was all the will power I could muster. The mpg promptly dropped for the remainder of the tank. I plan on never mistreating my car that way again
