I typically clean the car out every day when I get done so that the clutter and extra weight doesn't add up. In general, when I start my route I have around 200 lbs extra in the car during the week (about 150 papers) and closer to 400 extra on Sundays (right at 200 papers), so between that and the stopping and starting, I am very pleased with how this little car is working out.
I just added another fill up. New personal best since I started tracking it. 39.6 mpg calculated. The factory mpg gauge is a little optimistic (showed 41.3 mpg) but it has a real time and avg mileage gauge, so it is still very useful in adjusting my driving habits.
