I only managed 41.59etc... yesterday when i filled up.

I haven't broke 5k miles yet though. I drive a manual and shift before 3k rpms. I also coast whenever i can. I don't go past 60mph either!

Hopefully i can hit the 45mpg mark after i reach 5k miles.

How many miles do you have to put on the car before it reaches it's full potential for mpg?

for me gains were very gradual...until I started using DFCO and then I instantly got +10% mpgs (4mpg) which bumped me up to over 40mpg.... since then.... slightly increases... When it was 80+ degrees outside I avg'd 43mpg.... cept for when I did 8hr drives and avg'd around 75mph.

I've heard that you get gains at around 5K, 10K, and 20K. Then that's it.
