Don't get me wrong...I LOVE this car, but am very skeptical about the 30MPG claim. We've had it a little over a week now: as my wife's DD in/around town, she's getting about 14MPG, and we live in a small-ish town with very little traffic. This weekend, I took it for its first "long" road trip--about 3 hours. I averaged just a tad over 29MPG on the highway, which isn't bad. Granted, I was averaging around 90MPH, so that could have made up the difference in fuel; however, as a DD we're never going to see anywhere near 30MPG in the city.
