Over almost 60,000 miles I've averaged a little over 32MPG, and I never "granny drive" so that seems like a fair trade. I've been honestly surprised what great gas mileage I get given my less than hyper mileage driving habits.

For anyone that is interested I've documented every tank in my Owner's Journal first post (well its a couple months behind, I need to update it).

I've done a couple of timed tests when traveling (fill up, get on the Interstate, get off, calculate avg speed and mileage) and still get well over 30MPG averaging speeds higher than 70MPH.

I suspect when I buy new tires soon I'll end up losing some because I won't be buying low resistance summer tires.
