Highway mileage should be markedly better due to the torque converter lock-up and the SVX's low drag coefficient. Mine gets right around 30mpg on level highway cruising at 70-75. City mileage cuts it almost in half for me, since shes a heavy beast and I have a tendency to hit the gas hard from lights.
