Actually my best was 4.7L/100km from Edmonton to Kamloops, that's 50MPG.
This is driving at about 55mph in the 4 lane section and 62mph in the 2 lane section (so I don't hold up traffic), A/C off for half the trip. It was just me and my mini schnauzer so not much weight. The Corolla is just beyond amazing on gas, but the competition is catching up.
I can get 32MPG in my 07 Mazda 5 on the hwy with A/C on (06 and 07 has poorer rated fuel economy than the 08+) and loaded with 5 people and luggage so it's pretty decent.
I calculated the L/100km/person myself. Would probably good to see where each vehicle stands. I think with MPG, you would have to multiply it by the number of people.
Based on new US EPA method:
Mazda 5, 28MPG = 168MPGPP (miles per gallon per person)
Corolla, 35MPG = 175MPGPP
Suburban, 19MPG = 152MPGPP (1.5L/100km/person in Canada)
The Suburban is pretty good on gas if it's fully loaded, but how often is that? And a minivan like a Toyota Sienna can do 192MPGPP if all you're going to do is cruise on the Interstate.
Still I prefer my Mazda 5, it's not too big, it's not too small. For a family that can only have one vehicle, this is the perfect vehicle really. Even though a lot of the time it does carry two to four people, often it's only carrying 1 and 25MPG day to day is a lot better than 17MPG for carrying one, sure 33MPG+ day to day would be better but eh. If I need to transport 8 people and a lot of gear, I can just rent something bigger! This obsession about buying things for the worst case scenario has to stop.
BTW in Google you can query things like 7.1L/100km in MPG or 41MPG in L/100km and it'll give you an answer.
