no tanks under 40 MPG in a year

[brainless twit]

I'm really surprised that more people aren't getting 40mpg and above. I drive 80 miles round trip to work, on a 2-lane road with lots of curves and hills averaging 60-65 mph (sometimes 70 if I'm running late). I make a few short trips in town every week - a couple miles to the grocery store or my parents' house. I've never tried to drive differently in this car, I just drive the way I normally do. Since my 5000-mile oil change, I've been getting 42 mpg consistently. Prior to that I was getting about 37. I always get at least 460 miles out of a full tank.
