This is the average of all my commutes in the last four years. That should be enough to smooth out any other effects and see a general trend.

The slight dip above 80 is because my morning commute is slightly downhill and more efficient, but morning temperatures never get above the low 80's.

Excellent. Really useful too, since I have the same car, though not the same mileage!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
