After my last 2300+ mile round trip, I'm convinced: For the big FE, you just need long trips. It's *amazing* how much a cold engine zaps FE... and in such a short time. I didn't drive any different on that trip and averaged solidly over 40 mpg.

Even if you have all highway, but in 5 different trips, your FE will suffer. And with the range of this hybrid over 600 miles, that opportunity does not happen often.
