    :) YIPPEEEE! :) I broke my old record with my last fill up. I hit 62.9mpg combined for the tank. (I drive ~ 50% highway and 50% city) Since I have a short commute to and from work I don't think I can get much better without going insane trying. I wish I could get the warmup time mpg better...but don't we all. I had a couple of days when I had 2 back to back 99.9 mpg segments on my 3 segment trip. I feel good. OK, I'll get of the soapbox now and come back down to earth. :)

    Congrats. Loose your 50% highway driving and you're sure to beat your best again. :)

    I wish I could. I live 10 miles from work and the ONLY way to travel for some of the route is the highway. I wish I could reduce the poor mpg from the warm-up period as most of my trips are only 15 minutes.

    Have you installed an Engine Block Heater yet? My warm up MPG are routinely b/w 50-75mpg for the first 5 minute bar. It's $40 well spent.
