60 MPH = 30 MPG with the 2.3-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder and a 5-speed manual transmission. It's not fast, but good enough and gets great mileage.
It gets mid-30s if you go ~55 but that is hard to do in the city where I live -- backs up traffic and annoys people when the semis have to pull out and pass.
Official EPA ratings are 22/27 MPG
Really wish this was the 4.0L V-6 and 4x4 automatic.... Hahaha! :p

I got 30.93 on a winter trip with my 04 5-speed longbed. No cruise control. Speed varied from 55 to 70. No bedcover, no drafting behind semis and I had a snowblower in the back on the way home. I filled up at the same pump at the start of the trip and at the end of the trip. I have yet to test my 09 on a highway trip. Its identical to my 04: 2.3 2wd manual 5 speed longbed with a.c. and its white. I have twins.
