    Around here in Mid-Missouri temps have been around 85-94 we drive city /highway about 50% each
    with AC on Auto set at 77 degrees with the recirculating air in the cabin. ( due to High Humidity) We are getting 53-55 mpg and are very pleased with that.

    Here's my best so far. This picture was at 5:32 this morning and already 86 degrees out. For a majority of this tank the outside temp ranged from 105-117.

    I think I have the record for driving in the highest temps. It has been anywhere from 115 to 124 everday for a week and I am half way into the lowest milage tank in one year of ownership..43.4 MPG. I do have 17 inch wheels and wider tires that add 1-2 mpg over stock but still it's this high heat that gives the bigest hit. In normal temps I get over 46 in the same area of rolling hills....
