Got off my ass and put the interior back together this morning; took her for a drive as a reward and to drum up some more enthusiasm. Sun had come out, on my weekend...no better time! Took her out towards the ferries and back. Lazy, mostly level with a 55mph speed limit...

She gave me 66.5MPG!

With a working IMA and/or no city to drive through to get to the highway, she'd probably give me over 70. Okay, okay...rather ideal driving conditions/course, but still...

I wonder how much I lose to warming up the engine each trip? That 10-mile trip to work and then back after she's cooled off again certainly isn't ideal.
