'04 HCH 5-speed, combined city/highway driving in Raleigh NC.

Raleigh has lots of hills, which, surprisingly, works to my advantage. Lock the accelerator up hill, then watch the fuel economy gauge shoot to 120MPG downhill!

I can usually keep it up around 50 - 55MPG, though the hot summer months have taken a toll.
