On the highway it fails to equal cars that were available in the seventies with very simple drive trains and at eighty miles per hour it won’t do any better and probably not as well as my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis Limited Edition, a car that is very comfortable to drive and not cramped at all even for me and I am six four barefoot.

It's designed as a city commuter that would with most commutes never have to run the engine. Even on the engine, 31.7 mpg in the city is not bad and 33 mpg cruising at eighty blows the socks off your Grand Marquis.

Not quite. They will get similar upper 20's at highway speeds. You should look into it, you might be surprised.
