As a follow-on to this post, I’m now filling up every half tank. My two previous half-tank results have been 35.2 mpg and 35.4 mpg. A bit more local freeway driving on these two, so I’m getting the benefit of the highway mileage. I should point out again that I’m a very conservative driver and focus on economy when getting from point A to point B, not time. So, my results are probably at the high end of expectations.

In terms of total cost of ownership and general driving enjoyment, this has been one of the best vehicles I’ve owned to date.
