    I have 70-80 mpg trips in warm weather (no AC), no precipitation, little traffic, flat roads, and at low speeds while timing lights. My home--work commute is 8 miles of 25-40 mph roads and I get 60-70 mpg when temperatures are above 50 degrees F. It'd be in the 70-80 mpg range if it was longer with the same road conditions, because of the engine warm-up hit.

    My summer tanks are usually 60-65 mpg (58-63 mpg calculated at the pump), winter ones are 45-55 mpg, and spring/fall are 50-60 mpg. I live in Northeast Ohio.
