Oh, I'm pretty sure the OP was speaking about his MPG for one TANK OF GAS, not over all. I did get 45.7 over all however, and now I'm seeking ways of increasing my MPG based on each tank of gas.

Your point about a cow in the road, mail boxes, etc.. All we got to do is turn off the motor until we are ready to move- problem solved and still NO HYBRID NEEDED! And Neutral, with a manual transmission, is your friend, as we all should use Neutral as much as possible, even with the engine on it saves us a lot of gas (as long as we are moving and NOT waiting for a "cow" to get out of the way) -lol.

I'm sure if you own a Hybrid there are tricks you can do to raise your 50 MPG AVG, or whatever it might be up too, much higher too.
