So I took a little 90mi highway cruise last night. I followed my "treat it like a baby" break in period in hopes of getting some better gas milage in the long run. It looks like it might have paid off. I was pretty impressed by the 27.3mpg for the trip. Not too shabby..would you say??

I think it's about what we can expect. I took a 40 mile drive by interstate last saturday and zeroed out the "after start" readout once I was on the freeway and the mileage for that distance was 27.6.
