Yeah I hear ya. I hit 29mpg mark. I was going for 30mpg, but I am pretty impressed for my first time. I know I can get better though. This is mostly city driving. When I move I will be mostly on highways. So we will see. My wifes 05 Honda civic 4-door lx auto gets sometimes in the 40s without really going crazy. But at highway speeds it is around 2k ish.
