Just did a round trip from Harrisburg, PA to Raleigh, NC.
837 miles in 12 hours over a 36 hour period.
Made the 396 mile trip down to my friend's house on Sunday morning in 5 hours and 42 minutes. 6 hours flat if you count the gas/pee/food stop. Google maps told me it would take 6:58. Ha!
Trip home took a little longer because I hit the DC area around 5PM. Decided to pull off for dinner while I was stuck in lapped traffic.

Really, this car is a delight at cruising speeds on the highway.
Is it as plush as my wife's Mercedes? Hell no. But it's a lot more fun.

Mileage seems to suffer a bit when you're cruising over 3,000 RPM, and I made several visits to "the danger zone". All in all, I don't think 25mpg is horrible for this kind of car.
