I'm surprised some folks here aren't getting better numbers. My best tank over the 4000 miles and 4 months I've had my Si was 36.9, which included an incredible 41.8 MPG over a 110 mile stretch with the A/C on and with two mountain passes (~3500' and 4000'). 32.7 MPG is my lifetime average and that includes having fun since that's the reason for buying the Si in the first place. I'm getting low to mid 30's back and fourth to work (2 round trips, 5 miles each) and can easily get mid to upper 30 on the highway at 65-70 MPH.

Sounds like the hybrid could really benefit from a manual transmission!
