You should be able to get even better MPG after the 5K miles break-in period. Of course weather is a factor so in the winter MPG declines for our climate. As to why you came back to this cold? ... HMMM LOL

I'm still a working man, I didn't want to come back but were going back in March for 3 weeks see if I can get better millage, I know I can get better if I slow down a bit but I want to get there asap.
