Averaging 51.4 for first 400 miles,

My drive is 90% freeway and 10% city street. I think it will be better later because I mostly drive alone and the last week I have been hauling colleagues around during lunch to show them the car and also hauled a bunch of stuffs to my new apartment.

I haven't been using the AC because of the mild weather in Southern California right now.

Go ahead rub it in about the great weather and A/C.
Your doing well. Just keep it below 65mph and keep an eye on the screen and you will improve.

I am averaging 55.8 mpg for the last 300 miles. I set my cruise control to 62 mph on the freeway usually behind a big rig (safe distance) so other drivers won't get mad at me.

Great mpg report. From my last tank full, it cost me less than $20 bucks to fill and I calculated 51.19 mpg. I am very happy with what I am seeing so far.

When it gets warmer, I am curious how our mpg will be affected since I love to use AC during the summer months.
