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

Thanks for posting some TCH MPG results. I realize you were in a hurry to post some real world results, but it should be noted here that results (from the computer read-out might I add) from only a 18 mile test drive leads to a -huge- standard deviation. I doubt the TCH will even come close to averaging 42MPG for most people. I would probably pin the TCH at averaging 36MPG over the long haul for an average driver.
