I get the car all warmed up in the 5 miles before my "test track". I get on the interstate, set the cruise, and log 3 points of miles & mpg on the long way home. I've got between 49 and 80 MPG depending on the temperature, speed, and road (wet or dry). My lifetime MPG has gone up from around 40 to over 47 with the warmer temps. Good luck with your new ride and plan a short trip on your day off to play with your new toy!

sorry, are you saying that you go the long way (19 miles) versus the short way 65. miles just to bump up your mpg??
