My 46mpg is 1 short of EPA. However, there are a few factors going on here;
#1 The weather has been cold most of the time I have owned it.
#2 I have 200 miles of 70mph+ running at 41.5mpg in that average.
#3 I carry alot of equipment with me.
#4 The first couple thousand miles were lower than it is now that the car is broken in.
When the weather is 60 degrees, I typically average 50 to 52mpg.
My driving style is to hypermile when I can, and just drive with traffic when I am in a busy area so I do not annoy people around me.
The biggest issue when it comes to my MPG is outside temp, period. It is very direct, when the weather is below 50 degrees, my mpg is 45 to 46, when it is 40 to 50 degrees, the mpg goes up to about 48 to 49, when the temp is over 60, I see 51 or 52mpg.
