There's a problem there: the lowest I've ever gotten is just shy of 44 mpg, and I live in a much colder climate.

Better check your tire pressures. My tires were low from the dealer. I'm running higher pressures than the door jamb numbers.

Also, you can do way better as you optimize your driving: lengthen your stopping distances, use a light touch on the gas and brakes.
