Finally took a long road trip in ours from Savannah, GA to Asheville, NC running 75 to 85 on the Interstate and got average 29.6 MPG. Toured the Blue Ridge Pkwy up and down mountains and back mountain roads and got a phenomonial 26.4 MPG. Has around 7.5K mi on it and steady gets 25 MPG in town. On the entire trip we only saw 4 other xB's and I see one occasionaly here. We had Marquis and Lincolns and I must say the xB is a real winner on the Interstate rides so good and couldn't ask for a beter driving vehicle. I like sitting up so we can see everything touring in the mountains and we had more than enough room for lots of baggage in the back and our doggie loves the back seat. Suggest putting a sheet over the seat because that type fabric is hard to vacuum out dog hair.
We went to Augusta, Ga to visit friends and one of the guys lives in Atlanta and says you see a whole lot of them around Atlanta seems to be the new Yuppie vehicle. The longer we have it the more we like it and, for what it cost, it is one of the nciest vehicles we ever owned.
