I am at 36.0 MPG average @ 10,100 miles. (I keep an excel file going each for all 3 of my cars.)

The car has been my mule to work and back - most of the miles came from that, where the drive is mainly highway @ 70-80 mph. I hardly ever really go past 50% throttle - I don't feel much of a need to show any muscle whatsoever while driving it really. My other car (grown-up toy) is an RX-8 afterall. Though I have found myself in situations where I've had to stand my ground with the bully-types out there.

I think I see a 1-2 MPG drop for those tankfulls primarily affected by the use of the AC. Now that it's cooling down out there and I don't hardly need the AC, I'm getting 37.1 mpg in the last month.

edit: I posted my excel graph of my MPG 10-2-06 @ 7:43pm. That's on the next page. Check it out...
