Today was my 1st back and forth to work with the scanner and I doubt I'll ever see 40 on this commute unless I make some modifications to the car itself.
My acceleration from a light and speed on the freeway I'm sure upset more than 50% behind me. None are flipping me off, but any slower they would or worse wreck me.

Today I saw 39.1 on my 52 mile RT. Windows cracked. (summers coming) no A/C now. I'm sire the summer A/C use will eat some fuel for sure.

That's 65 on the free-way 70% of the drive and slow starts shifting between 2000 and 3500 on the balance. The freeway mpg runs between 34 and 42 observed.

I drafted a semi today in the 1 sec distance and saw 45 to 51 at 70mph. Did that for maybe 4 miles

It's hard to recover from the initial 5 min of running.

The best item to look at the the eng load and the TPS.
The MPG and GPM have a lag as they are a calc

Also the thermostat is 172F in mine.

Just wanted to mention my Fit when hot and idling is eating .18 Gal/hr Always wondered what that was. That about 60 cents per hr and on a full tank it would run for 55 hrs lol
