Default we've joined the club!

Paul and Jay here in Chicago...took delivery of our FEH one month ago and love it. Mileage averaging 27 in 50/50 city driving with avg temp over past month only about 55 degrees or so. Love the smooth ride and excellent handling, the quiet and fuel economy...sure beats our sl500!! Any recommendations how we can boost the mpg from current owners would be greatly appreciated.
Paul & Jay,
Chicago IL

Congrats on "joining the club"! Sounds like your mpg is about right for the Chicagoland temps.
I just wanted to mention our hybrid meetup in July. Be sure to check out this thread. If you ever get a chance to meet, xcel, a.k.a. Wayne, he can give you plenty of hands-on tips.

You will be getting over 30 when your windy city temps go over 80. Try to accelerate slowly and stay 40-55 range as much as possible. Coast to stop when possible and go slow up hills and fast down to gain momentum. I do this and get middle 30's. Welcome to the club.
