    We just passed the Autumnal Equinox (first day of Autumn), temperatures are warm, and I'm earning 52 mpg (30 mi commute twice each day, Mon-Fri). Some times it rises to 55 mpg, but 52 is the per tank average (78k mi).

    Looks like I need to start blocking my grille (I've been holding off because of temperature fluctuations).

    I can't raise the psi that high in the winter tyres. They're already as rough/uncomfortable as it is at 37/35 (I had it at 40/38 last year and they were brutal!)

    Now that temps are more moderate I don't have to use the A/C as much and when I don't have to, mileage is 5-10% better.
