My 20.45 mile commute route is probably as good as it gets for P&G and EO(ff)C, especially on the way to work. With the gas engine, I RARELY ran the engine enough to reach the thermostat opening temp, even when I made trips during the day at 90 deg.F. I was using as little as .15 gallons for the trip to work. Highways around here are long uphills( 1-3 miles) followed by nearly the same down hill. Getting up those long hills burns a lot of fuel, and I would get worse mileage on the highway route.
Aero does help quite a bit, as I was getting 50mpg on cruise control on the highway just before the swap, better if I went 55 and used EOC. As with Palemalanesian, I keep getting better and better at the off highway route.
