My 2005 1.8 is getting like 33ish on teh highway, which is OK considering I normally go about 75mph or so.
We got 30-33 mpg on the roadtrip. I'm much happier now, I can't expect it to be much better than that since I was traveling 80-90 most of the way and even hit some pretty bad traffic a few times. Who knows, maybe it will ever get slightly better once the engine breaks in more. If not, I'm still pretty happy with what its getting now.
