At posted speeds plus about 5 mph (75 in a 70, etc.) my V6 3.6 gets 26-29, and at a cruise controlled 60 mph I was able to go over 500 miles and get 36.4 mpg in November 2011.
In town I get 18-20 year 'round.
Driving style, speed, conditions - can you spend a little time defining "horrible" and how you get it?
