High MPG is easy on the auto on the freeway. At 65 mph (assuming you're going the speed limit and the highway is level) the engine is at about 2100-2200 RPM, and if you flip to real-time MPG display it'll be in the 40s/50s easy. Hit 70 and above and it definitely drops down to the 30s.

Remember, it's not slower. It's geared differently and you can still pick your gears. If you just let it shift itself, then yeah it will be less peppy. The sport mode does do more aggressive shifting though if that's your bag.
