Is this a plug in hybrid? Are you hand calculating that MPG, or is that what is displayed? At 72 MPG, you're averaging what I do in my plug-in Prius.

...and I take the spare out of my vehicles nowadays. Out of probably a dozen or so flats, the only one that couldn't be repaired with a plug kit and inflator was when I launched sideways off a gravel road, landed sideways in a farm field, and pulled the tire off the rim.
