Normal 23 mpg commutes? How do you get such bad fuel economy on an 80% highway commute? Are you cruising at triple digit speeds ? lol.
I average 31 mpg not even trying if i work early and leave early (beating rush hour) and 30 if the traffic is terrible. 90% highway but i cross a bridge and it can be crappy if i work during rush hour.
This is with cruising at 75-80... redlining it once or twice a day when I can (dont often have room enough). The previous owner had averaged 24 mpg according to my trip odometer (reset after i changed oil) so they must have had a lot of stop and go and beat the crap out of the car!
If im just in chill mode i will be out of first at 10 mph and in 5th by 40 mph (if perfectly flat the car can manage that in 6th ok). Traffic sometimes kills your "need for speed" so to speak.
I think if you cruise at 65 you could easily crack 35 mpg.
