Thx Gonehiking
I'm wondering if the higher elevation you are operating in is giving you an edge on the mpg.
Enjoy

Hmmm... I was under the impression higher altitude causes mpg to drop because of lower oxygen level?? Plus we get 10% ethanol in gas year round which does not help at all. I do see about 2 mpg gain on highway when I am able to fill 100% gas.

It is something very new for to hear. Because for me Honda Accord has been working very fine for me. I think it has very good fuel economy. I would share a quote here:
"Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the
brilliance of their gifts some tragic dividing of forces on their ways is, on this short day of frost
and sun, to sleep before evening."
