Default I get up to 24MPG highway if I drive leisurely. Fuel economy is connected to your right foot. :)
Do you find that you drive aggressively? Lots of rapid acceleration, etc?

When running late for work, my fuel economy suffers. I've seen as low as 15MPG during "spirited" driving, and as high as 26MPG on long high highway drives.

Default :) You could try tracking it for a bit and see if it's accurate. That's what I did.
Also, if it's not, try searching the archive - I recall someone (Doc?) saying it can be adjusted.

Default I get and average of 25 on the highway!
I'm stage one on the x-sauce. That's my average form Blacksburg to Atlanta. I average 81 mph with stops. Usually between 90-100 with some higher spurts. I used to get 27-29 going the speed limit.

I guess my heavy 19's don't hurt me too bad in mpg, but they sure slow me down.
