    And the final verdict? 52.6 mp/g on mixed roads/highways....

    I'm pretty happy with this (I upped the tire pressure)

    Any thoughts? Is this pretty good for a first tank?

    Well. I'd say it is. Is your new tire pressure at 42/40?

    My first tank was more like 45 mpg, but I still had the tire pressure that came from the dealer.
    I didn't start using 42/40 until the end of last year (or there abouts).

    For a brief moment I thought I'd stumbled upon an SUV forum. I misread the subject line as:
