51 MPG unassisted is pretty high for that car on the freeway even at the speeds listed. I suspect the drafting may have played a big part. Warm air into the engine certainly helps too.

BTW, I'm 450 miles into a 48+ MPG (indicated) tank myself. 100% slow speed city driving with traffic lights! As long as I stay away from China it should be my best tank ever.
