Average 71.2 mpg over the close to 140K miles I've owned it. Much of that crossing the Sierra Nevada, or climbing into them. (I live just at the eastern base.) Not much time spent in city driving. And as I said, it's not that I accelerate so briskly - maybe half throttle, with a bit of assist for a few seconds - it's that just about everything else out there is either a) slow; or b) driven by people with the reaction time of a Brontosaurus.
