My best two full tanks have been 46 and 48 MPG, both were a majority of commuting and short trips with a couple of short highway jaunts thrown in. This is in winter weather, though, so I expect to improve on these numbers slightly in summer. I have a short 23km (14mi) commute and only fill every 9-10 days on average, so my driving varies quite a bit during a whole tank.
My best one-way highway trip so far was ~54 MPG, but that was also in winter weather doing ~58-60 MPH. Based on what others are reporting in better weather, at speeds 55-60 MPH I would expect to get somewhere between 54-58 MPG (US gallons, of course), maybe a little higher if my increased tire pressure and lowered suspension add any benefits.
