If you examine the MPG database information that you can see for a lot of people that get 35-38 MPG or more - you'll find that they drive further and more highway percentages and many live in warmer climates. I suspect that those of us in the Frost-Belt will get better warm weather mileage than the Sun-belt drivers as we'll have our windows down around town while they'll be running the AC.
Don't sweat it. All will be fine.. Only real trick I've learned is that you should accelerate up to a little faster 1-2mph over what you want to cruise at - then back off the throttle to change the gear reduction in the eCVT transmission and possibly promote the engagement of EV mode.
Enjoy your car..

Thanks--I wasn't worried, I was just wondering. I live in the Bay Area and recently it's been about 30-35 degrees in the morning (warm compared to where you're from, but I'm a California boy!).
