Over the last 2 days I travelled 407/401 from Toronto to Windsor and back (almost 800 km) and on the trip down (speed was 120+ km/h - I got almost 24 miles per imperial gallon (about 19.2 MPG US)) and on the trip back 27.9 MPIG or about 22.3 MPG US (about 10.1 litres/100 km). I slowed down a bit averaging 115 to 120 km/h.
I find this to to be better than I had dreamed (and mine is a loaded GT AWD with the 20" rims).
Ambient temperature was about 85F going to Windsor and about 93F on the way back today.
I only have 2700 km on it so the fuel economy may get even better as it breaks in.
Also, the CX-9 is a fabulous highway cruiser - after 4 hours at the wheel I felt completely relaxed & refreshed - even in heavy traffic (lots of trucks!) around Toronto.
I definitely made the right choice choosing the CX-9!
