I'm getting 34.7 mpg of mixed use city and freeway. It's mostly been freeway, though.
Most of the time I don't accelerate hard from a complete stop. I pull out at the same speed other cars do usually. Most of the time I'm floating around 2-3k rpm. It's about 70/30 for me highway/city driving. So far 21xx miles, I'm holding out hope I'll hit the 30's by the time I do my oil change at least.
