I've got to get down and crunch the numbers, but we seem to be getting 36+ with NO effort... just driving it like a normal car. This includes driving it "normal" in the city and doing 400 mile road trips. We still aren't to the 5,000 mile "break in" point... so I'm getting pretty impressed with the MPG... especially from the standpoint of not having to "try" to get good mpg. I had a lot of fun when we first got the car trying to learn to hypermile... but so often you need to run errands or do things and you just don't have time to think about it. I like the fact I don't feel like I need to beat myself up for losing mpg when I need to drive more normally.
