Got 29.2 mpg recently on a short (49 mile) country drive. This was over country roads with small towns every 10 miles or so. So there was a decent amount of stop and go along with a couple WOT passes on 2 lane country roads. Just normal driving. Pretty impressive when you consider the performance of the N55. While I've seen a few 30 mpg trips it's only over a short distance. I imagine with some hyper-miling techniques I could get 30+ mpg out of the N55.

Impressive
*IF* a manual calulation backs up the compter's claims.
