I drive 17 miles to work with 3 miles of 45 miles per hour w/ stoplights, 75 miles per hour on Fla Turnpike for 14 miles, and 2 miles at 45 miles per hour w/ stoplights. I thought I should at the very minumum get 40 mpg. I have been thinking that there is something wrong with the car and should take it to the dealership; however, I am not sure that there is anything wrong with the performance only the mpg. I am using COSTCO gas exclusively and thought I might change to AMOCO or someother major brand that has a cleaner in it as recommended in the manual. What do you guy's think? I would appreciate some help. I certainly would love to be your all's club of very happy HCH owners getting unbeliveable gas mileage! Thanks!

I have used Costco gas almost exclusively since day 1 and my mpgs are still pretty high (~46-49 now). It took me until 3K-4K miles to fully break in the car, before which I was averaging 35-42 mpg. Also, keeping the speed in check (i got 67 mpgs driving to work today at 65
mph) helps. Some have differing opinions, but I've not had a serious issue that can be attributed to Costco gas so far (we have E10 everywhere up here by law).
