Well guys you got me jumping up and down.......35 mpg on the 3.5 auto 4wd.....i pulled down every convertor i could find to change u.s. gallons to litters and miles to kilometers and here are the results...15,7 mpg on the highway with speeds varying from 75 to 100 mph (flat,uphill,downhill combo) and i have to say that i was pretty impressed by it too....the average comsumption within city boundaries is a mere 10,6 mpg (heavy traffic in Athens).....i also have an aftermarket free flow filter.
Next time i m out on the highway i m gonna try my best to drive as old fartish as possible .....maybe go 60-75 mph and see what happens....
BUT 35MPG????????seems like the number is going to haunt me in my dreams

P.S. forgot to mention that i m running it on 18'' rims with 255/55/18's .....that alone adds a lot to the count.......but still 35 mpg is un***believable
