36-40mpg all day every day since day one. It doesn't seem like the AC affects things much either. Once I was runnning late fopr a wedding in ND so I ended up driving 202 miles in 1hour 50min-keeping it at 114mph(just before the limiter kicks in). With crazy head wind and 4 people in the car I got 19.8mpgs :)

Using the brakes wastes fuel. Every time you touch the brake pedal, you're taking kinetic energy you built up by burning fuel and converting it to waste heat. If you're accelerating and braking for curves, holding speed downhill with brakes, or of course having to make stops, you'll see your mileage go down.

That's pretty hard to believe. I'd think the tires would blow after a few minutes. Also, with 4 people aboard? Where the heck can you drive like that mile after mile???
