Amusing in that AFAICT, most folks get BETTER mileage than
the data published for their vehicles. E.g., our vehicle is
("up to") 20/29 yet we've consistently averaged better than
the "20" in town -- despite the fact that the car claims
our average speed to be about 19MPH (over the last 10 months).


According to the ScanGauge my Toyota does better than the EPA rating unless I'm
running 80 mph or so.


We've not yet had the car "on the highway" so no idea what it
will do with the chance to "cruise" (instead of the stop-n-go
that we experience in town). Hard to come up with anyplace
we'd want to *go* that would require any sort of serious
driving! : Might be fun to actually play with some of
its toys while not having to watch for the stop sign at
the next corner...
