Anyway, this was a long drive of mixed in town and highway driving. I have seen much higher rating than this (I had one at 60.1mpg). But, this is a typical trip if driven carefully. I do drive the speed limit, however, not very slowly like you might imagine.

Shouldn't this average speed be closer to 25 mpg ish?
