My lifetime MPG average is at 44.5mpg, 1.5 mpg short from what the EPA says I should get. I recently switched over from the tires that came with the car over to Bridgestone Ecopia tires. Just took a long trip 700 miles total so they are nice and broken in.

Normally around town I struggle to get 45mpg, my local area is hilly and my daily commute is only 8 miles each way.

I'm half way through my tank and I'm currently at 50mpg, whichout changing anything besides having the new tires on.

I'm using an ultragauge and I've seen much high mpg readings while at highway speeds as well as just driving around town.

Will report back after I get a few more tanks of data back to see if my 5mpg increase is from my new Ecopia tires.
