Roadrunner, could you describe exactly what type of driving you're doing; are you hypermiling; how fast do you drive? Your numbers look suspiciously high. Why do you fill up after only a couple of hundred miles sometimes? Why, when you did 50% highway, was your mileage worse? How are you figuring your mileage? Just curious; not accusing you of anything. It's just that on a recent trip with my 5sp, going 60-65 mph the whole time on 99% highway, the best I could get was 46.5%, which was great, in my opinion. I just find it hard to believe that on a car that promises 34 mpg city, you are getting in the upper 40s to 50 mpg.
