Not really necessary to go to all that trouble to get to >32MPG. My lifetime average is over 33MPG (calculated), and I spend most of the 80,000+ Miles commuting at speeds between 25 and 65MPH. I rarely have a set speed, or use the cruise control, and race away from just about every stoplight (not spinning the tires mind you, but no soccer Mom in the mystic 5 second Odyssey has ever beat me off the line)

I'm beginning to think I have the magic mileage edition though since I seem to be outside the norm.
