Ok then, let's redo these numbers :
Quote:
Our stop-and-go driving gave us 32.3 MPG,
our suburban driving with a mix of streets ended up at 39.8 MPG.
Extremely careful cruising on the interstate at exactly 55 MPH resulted in a stunning 57.9 MPG.
If you take advantage of the slipstream of a semi-truck (which we, of course, do not recommend), you can easily approach 65 MPG.
