My wife gets 23 mpg in our little I10, she leaves all the lights on everywhere, etc. Yet she's glad for me when I come home and say '3.4' as she knows that means I've equalized my best ever FE coming home from work...
(spent 5 minutes in a traffic jam and ended up getting that! It could have been so much better... Geez. Never mind)
