    48.1 MPG

    BUT, that was on tires that were 3-4 psi lower than they should have been.

    This 4th tank (all on 40/38 psi) is doing even better. 51.0 so far on 320 miles.

    These are all still 95% highway miles. Temps from mid 30'sAM to low 50's afternoon/late afternoon.

    Happy and getting happier with the mileage.

    Makes me look forward to warmer weather. I'm hovering around 45 with outside temps around 25-40F. I upped my tire pressure, which gave me an extra 2-3 MPG and have been working on adjusting my driving style. I'm slowing inching up but still getting killed by the ocasional short trip, the cold, and my lead-footed ways. :)
