It is a struggle. I drive 80 miles a day back & forth to work at 16.5 MPG, filling the tank up every 4 days.
You will be (far) money ahead with the longevity of the thing if you keep it a long time. It will outlast all these turbo charged 4 cyl wonder machines by 3x at least if you take care of it. You can buy a lot of gas for the meager difference in milage.
