    47.2. I haven't hit the reset button in a few months because for several tanks I was getting 43-45 mpg on every tank. I improved it a bit and left it as is since. I think my lifetime avg is about 46.8 or therebouts. It might be in my signature, I can't remember...

    46.5 mpg on my 4th or 5th tank (can't remember). No heat blocking mods or anything, just easy on the throttle and brakes. :D

    I do not mean to hijack the thread, but how do you block the grills?

    Thanks

    I was going to hold off until the end of the tank but want to capture this in the event that things go bad. Yesterday morning, it was 58.2 when I arrived at work. Then an all-day snow storm with snow and slush made the drive home less-than-desirable. So anyway, here's the picture from this afternoon.

    MPG: 57.6
    Temp: 27ºF
    Miles: 359

    I just filled up, reset the trip computer, and drove 11 miles to my home with the new high average MPG of 69.8 !!!

    Wahoo!

    Tire pressure set to 42/40, temperature in the low 80's and the car was already warmed up.

    Granted, I was driving with every intent to get the best mileage I could, but I average about 54 MPG overall.

    48.4 with this 3/4 tank.

    I had been consistently getting 37 mpg.

    I only have about 2780 miles total so far.

    I take lots of short trips and have been trying to combine errands. I was pet sitting about an 8 mile trip, that had some good coasting routes.

    I noticed the mileage getting better on my last tank and this one is better.

    I was told there was a new car break in period, so I have been trying not to freak out about the low mileage.
