Automatic non turbo according to fueleconomy.gov will get at least 21mpg.  19 city, 24hwy.

Automatic turbo... pretty much the same... 21mpg... 18 city... 24 hwy.

I have an 04 turbo automatic... and I reset the trip all the time I refuel... depending on when I get gas it definitely gets 270miles to the tank, I can push it to 300 miles on a tank but then the gas light beeps like no tomorrow. Haha.  So if the car has what a 12 gallon tank?  300/12=25 mpg... so depending how you drive you can easily get 25 mpg.  No jack rabbit starts aka flooring it right away at the stop light... you can easily get the 300 on a tank... but if you go above 65mph then your mpg gets crappy.
