09 Sport MT
1st tank, filled by dealer, so not sure just *how* full, returned 30+MPG.
2nd tank, filled by me, to the point where it was sitting right at the base of the fill opening, netted a much more pleasing 40.4MPG!! And that included a road trip and air con, as well as a week of to and from work.
I'm happy!
I don't go over 60 unless I'm getting a reading on the MPG monitor that shows high 40's or above, and I don't pull fast starts or rapid accelerations when not necessary. I keep an eye on the monitor and adjust accordingly, but I don't obsess about it. It's a good reminder to keep the foot out of the gas tank.
Added: Hubby did check the tire pressure shortly after the second fill-up, and added a bit to bring them up to recommended level. Seems like that must have helped.
