I have an 07 with 5-A/T, bone stock (has roof rack). I got 19 mpg on a 250 mile trip at a steady 75 mph for the first 2/3 and 80 mph for the last 1/3. Also did a "top speed run" (wanted to see how fast she went), which was a pull from 75 to 115 mph. Once I got off the freeway and went to a friends, he drove it (pretty much floored it everywhere), then we went on a little spirited trail ride, which involved more flat footing. 19 mpg on that tank wasn't bad.

My father has an 08, 5-A/T, bone stock, no roof rack, and in a trip through the West Virginia mountains on I-64 and I-77, at a steady 80mph (lots of downshifting to 4th to climb the mountains), he got 22.3 mpg.

I believe if I drove a steady 70mph from Flint to Columbus (pretty flat), I could beat his 22.3. I need to switch over to synthetic, though.
