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.

You must have been going really fast Im usually up in the 28-30 zone

On my highway trips, I'm lucky to hit 20mpg. My city is 16mpg. Then again, I don't like to drop below 4k RPM...ever.
