    Hi All,

    I filled up the tank for the first time since I purchased the car (19 Feb) and I am amazed. 371 miles with 8.8 gals 42 mpg. I dont think the numbers are accurate because the dealership did not fill up my tank to full when I purchased it.

    This fill up saved me around 70 bucks...compared to my traded in 2008 Sequoia. I look forward to reaching the 50 MPG mark soon.

    See ya!

    Congrats!

    After getting an average of 39 mpg on my previous tank, I have finally reached 50 mpg on this new tank with 72 miles. My commute is very short so I don't typically drive long enough distances to get the car fully warmed up, but this past weekend I did, with a couple 30 mi trips.

    Now I'm happy! When I was getting 34 and 38/39 mpg I felt cheated!

    This was the 3rd fillup for the car. The dealer did the first one and I've now filled it up twice.
