It took me almost 11,000 miles to do it, but I finally overcame all of those bad tanks at the beginning before I knew how to hypermile. The engine breaking in and the warm summer weather helped too. I hope I am able to keep the lifetime over 50mpg for the rest of the car's life!

 

Awesome! Congrats!

 

Congratulations - it will keep getting better.

After 4 years of owning a hybrid my lifetime MPG is still going up.

 

Cool! It might be hard to keep that with winter almost here, but, if you do lose it, you'll be able to get it back and then some when summer comes.
