one of my co-workers also has an 06.5 Optima V-6. I was surprised to hear her claim of only getting about 22mpg as well. But some of you have observed about the same with your Optima's. I think the differance between her mileage and mine is I tend to drive more conservatively (4cyl would be enough motor for me) and I drive highway about 70% of the time whereas she is city driving almost 90% of the time.
