How'd you manage to get that high mileage while going 80? Mine will chug gas if I went that fast.

I'm sure not a hypermiler, but I've always gotten better than I feel I should. Very first tank was over 43 mpg, have gotten over 44 mpg. Almost always drive 65-70 mpg on the freeway, and go 80 mph once in awhile (caught myself doing 80 mph about 3 times this week)...in fact, just yesterday on the way home to stay in front of a runaway dump truck that was blowing its load of sand on everybody behind him. The last time I can remember getting below 40 mpg was winter of '08, and I use real gas unless it can't be avoided...probably used E10 maybe 2 times within the last year or so.
