Maybe its the wheels...

By the way, I've been watching all the episodes of the original BSG TV series at work on my iPad. Gotta love it.

All city? Lots of stop and go driving?

I just filled up a few hours ago and got 38.1 MPG calculated (40.3 displayed). Of my latest nine fill ups, only one was below 37 MPG. That was a very rainy week... Which seems to lower my MPGs no matter what I do.

My commute is mostly highway, but I have been driving a little faster than normal. I have seen speeds of 80+ MPH on certain stretches of the commute. Most of it is 55-60 MPH, though.

I'm going to try to take it easy on this tank and see if I can break 40 MPG for real.
