Arrow First real-world mileage tests

With just 40 miles on my virgin Camry Hybrid, I did two identical 18-mile tests, each with a different tire pressure setting. Other new owners, please add your measured results, techniques, etc., to help others make purchase decisions and improve our mileage.

Conditions:
100% freeway loop, with long hills for about 20% of route
60 degrees, no detectable wind
Steady 65 miles per hour

First test: 37 PSI in all tires
Result: 39.5 MPG

Second test: 46 PSI front; 44 PSI rear
Result 42.3 MPG
