my BEST tank was 44.2mpg (US). this was a full tank which included a drive to Vermont with my girlfriend, my bike/wheels on the back & all my gear in the car.

I drove 58-60mph the whole way & coasted in neutral down every hill.

This summer i was consistently getting 40-42mpg without too much effort other than keep my highway speeds to 60mph & coasting when i could.

Lately, due to cold weather, warm-ups, & some faster speeds, i have been more in the 38-40mpg range... still acceptable :)
