Going along at highway speeds, I have yet to top 37 mpg , which is the EPA rating for highway.

No A/C on this tank so far - temps have been wonderful lately - mid 70s in the day, low 60s at night. When I run the A/C, the mpg is typically 43 or so. I do think the car is still improving on mpg.
My mpg on this tank is now 50.6mpg with 180 miles.

Short trips over the weekend and A/C usage dropped mileage to 47.3mpg... It's been slowly going back up this week. This morning parked with 49.0mpg displayed with 410 miles on the tank. It does seem a bit bizzare to have gone 400 miles and be just under half a tank.

I just made a 15 mile loop into town and then took the long way back home. I was able to average 56.9 mpg. Yes I was driving 40 to 50 most of the time as there was no traffic and very few stops. It's nice to know that if I wanted to I could really drive a long way on a little bit of gas. Just think when the shortage comes the interstates will be empty and no one will mind that you're driving 50.

If you were driving 40 to 50 I assume the ICE was running most of the time. Is that true, because I can't get anywhere near that mileage at that speed.
