15 - 28 depending on how and where you drive is the general concensus..

I've had smaller engined cars do worse than that by some margin!
Not scared I've ran enough big Volvos over the years to know what bad fuel consumption is

I suggest you install sprockets, chains and pedals for all passengers! It will give them something to do, shut up the mother in law, and improve the health of all your passengers.--- and improve mpg!

I've managed to get the good old Jensen SP's (7.2 six pack) down to 6mpg, so I think that 15 is quite respectable
