That's awesome! 40 MPG is quite impressive in a car that big. Is that mostly city or mostly highway driving?

Mile wise is mostly highway. Time wise about the same. Going by average speeds over the tank of around 35 it is close to 50/50.

My highway tanks easily average over 50 mph and city average is somewhere around 20 mph.

I seem to get better combined averages than I do on pure highway, but I think that is due to more coasting in town.
