Well, I've had mine less than a week so I'm still working on my technique. For now, I'm trying to keep the IMA guage no higher than 5 bars during acceleration from a stop (can't hold up traffic too much). Not sure if that helps or not. I'm probably getting in the mid 30's but I'm only driving 7 miles each way to work so I don't think I've driven it long enough to get a good reading (still on my first tank). I'll try upping the tire pressure this weekend and take a long trip next week to see how things go.
I'm used to driving a big, 4x4 truck that got maybe 15 MPG in the city. It's a big change. As a side note, I've found that I don't get as stressed out while driving now.
