Congrats on the new ride. After thinking about DeeDee's post, it occurs to me that hills are a sort of almost forced Pulse and Glide. I had not thought of it that way before. I try to use terrain to my advantage wherever possible and hills have generally been good to me but I had not thought about why... Thank You!

Also, as many others have posted in the past, break-in is a big deal here. So too is winter weather. We were in the high 50's/low 60s today and I would estimate that I averaged 32 MPG on about 50 miles driven. I'm so looking forward to spring.

Good luck!
