What FE do you get at different times of the year?

That whole tank I drove that way plus accelerated hard away from each stop light and stop sign. Still got 35.7 mpg! Amazing little cars!

Hmmmm... This is definitely not the recommended break-in procedure written in the owner's manual...

Anyway, I only got mine at the beginning of November so it's been all Winter driving so far. This is the first car I've actually been watching FE and I am getting 37MPG over the 13,000 miles I've had it. I look forward to Summer when FE should go up. I keep the tires at about 35PSI, BTW.
