I'm still running the Primacy tires, and have never really babied the car except keeping it (mostly) under 4K during break-in. One of the best tanks I had was one where I did about 60 miles of up and down hill twisties in the NC mountains but also included the remaining as highway miles.
I have been so very pleased with the mileage results. I NEVER expected to be averaging over 30MPG.
When I burn off the Primacy tires I will be changing to stickier tires so I expect it to drop a bit.
