I had dry roads, light traffic (hence P&G through the village), and improved technique (75mpg 4th gear lean burn from the moment coolant temperature hits 150°F).

And yes, my hands are still cold. I think I'll dig up my ski mittens.
Congrats!

I got 18MPG on the 1.7 mile commute to school and 14MPG on the way back home. It snowed during the day so my commute back home was slippery. I can't wait until it is warm out so I can bike to school because this commute sucks.
