    I frequently drive from Trenton to Atlantic City for work... 60 miles or more depending on my route.

    have now hit new highs with my mileage!!!! It's funny that on 2 different routes and 2 different temps I hit the same number... now over 26,000 miles and just keeps getting better & better!

    Mine too. I have risen above the 50 MPH mark for my round trips to work over hill and dale. It is mostly freeways with some stop and go, but I live on top of a 600 ft hill in Camas, WA, and I cross over the West Hills of Portland into Beaverton each day so my 50 MPG includes about 5 miles of 25 MPG while climbing the hills. I am at about 8,000. Is it mostly the temperature, feul blend, better driving skills? I think it is the awsome car.

    Barbara, do you take the AC Expressway or one of the Pikes? If you can get off the toll roads you should be able to do a bit better.
