I got about 48.5 mpg coming home from work today. Two weeks ago I was getting about 55-56 mpg, but now I have a carpool buddy and it's HOT here in the Northeast, so we're running a/c some afternoons.

I still hope to pull low 50's mpg for the tank. Not bad at all for this car, just not the stratospheric numbers I wish I was getting.

Tomorrow the car goes back to the shop which somehow mishandled adjusting the three accessory belts. Likely will get all three belts new, and an idler pulley installed. It's been squealing and scraping like a hurt pig.
