Yeah I know. Its horrible. Not to mention it drops 1-2mpg when I run anything lower than 91. I am usually light footed when I am just cruising it around. I believe it stickers 22/29. I have 4wd so it's not the most efficient model. The thing I hate the most is the 23.5 mpg when cruising over 70mph. Lots of 75 and 80mph zones that I drive regularly.
