I consumed 2.76 gallons getting home.

So...

Before:
W: 59.0 miles / 2.76 gallons = 21.4 MPG
H: 59.2 miles / 2.85 gallons = 20.8 MPG
T: 118.2 miles / 5.61 gallons = 21.1 MPG

Now:
W: 59.0 miles / 2.62 gallons = 22.5 MPG (+5.3%)
H: 59.2 miles / 2.76 gallons = 21.4 MPG (+3.3%)
T: 118.2 miles / 5.38 gallons = 22.0 MPG (+4.3%)

Okay, maybe not a 6% increase, but still...
