My family of 5 and I just recently went on a road trip from FLA to MI. Round trio with some stops along the way there and back we did about 2500 miles. I was doing 5mph over the limit the whole way when i could. We saw about and average of between 24-26mpg on the highway getting us between 420-475 mile to a tank. Wondering if anyone else has and feed back on this from their own experience. For an SUV with 400hp and all the bells and whistles i find this to be great!

That's really good, I've gotten around 21mpg average on a few road trips but I'm also really heavy on the gas pedal at times.

We purchased our ST in MI. about 3 months ago. On our trip back home to Fl. I drove about 80 mph most of 1500 mi trip and averaged 22 mpg. Super happy! Jim

We haven't taken a "long" trip yet ... but on our couple of 100+ mile jaunts on the highway we've gotten well over 24MPG which I think is truly outstanding for a vehicle this size, weight, and power!! Even in town I'm recording 18-19MPG which I think is also quite good.

We're averaging 20 - 21 around town, and I tend to have a heavy foot. No long trips but on the imterstate I've gotten about the same as you. I', amazed at the mileage this thing is capable of.
