I'm past 1/4 full... going to need to get gas next week. ScanGauge says I'm sitting at ~67 MPG US.

It was 68.x before driving around an unknown distance with a front flat tire (again). Oh, and a kayak sticking out of the hatch (not at the same time... that would just be crazy).

The next fill will be the first this year with summer blend fuel. That plus ever warmer temps has me hoping for one 70 MPG tank this summer.
