It would be cool if people would include the terrain they mainly drive in. Flat or Hilly? I know there are some places in the midwest where people don't encounter hills whatsoever. This could explain the super MPGs. Richmond is fairly hilly.

My commute is mostly on a twisting, winding, snowy, rainy, windy, tourist-infested, 2-lane mountain road that is 27.2mi one way and is generally 25-55MPH. It begins in the Reno valley at 4,500ft, climbs to the summit of Mount Rose at 8,900ft and then drops back down to Lake Tahoe at 6,300ft.

I start climbing the mountain 1.3mi after I leave my garage, and immediately after leaving my office on the way home.
