In my case, the 70+ mpg is not "runs", it's the total over 120K miles since I bought the car. It's true that I don't do all that much freeway driving (bar a couple of years when I was doing I5/I580/I680 into San Jose every other week or so. It does include a lot of mountain driving, going over 8000+ ft passes in snowstorms, fording creeks on dirt roads in the Toiyabe Mountains, and so on.
