Much to my surprise I'm getting about 35+ mpg on my stock '06 5spd. As soon as this silly prayer for judgement expires, I hope to be back around 25 mpg.

More to the point, they include auarter mile runs, grocery shopping, Dr. appts, and trips to the dog groomer. In short, I've averaged 49.2 mpg over every mile I've driven in my xB, ~28,000 miles in all.

At an additional 12+ mpg I could have saved a ton of dough over these 315,500 (and still counting) miles.

Up from the dead.

I reset my mpg computer once a month. So far this month I'm doing 35.2 mpg combined city/highway, best since I got my toaster last November. I'm being the most disciplined I've ever been for mpg, but my sense is 35 mpg combined is about the best I can expect for the somewhat hilly area I typically drive.
