I moved and now I get 47-mpg!
Well after moving even further away from work I now have a 42 mile commute that is mostly county and rural roads. With basically no traffic to contend with on 35 of those miles I can drive as I please without obstructing traffic. So with very slow acceleration and keeping my speed between 52 and 55 mph I have averaged just a tick over 47-mpg over the last 4 tank fulls

Congratulations, and you probably lowered your blood pressure at least as much as you raised your mpg!

No surprise that more highway miles, less stop&go, would equate to better average MPGs. I'm gald you're pleased.

Not only Highway miles, but the much loved 55 mph roads. Great for good MPG.

More proof that smarts are great commuter cars, so much for the city car idea!

Yup, guess President Carter wasn't that far off the mark back in the 70's, eh?
