First consistent non-special-conditions sustained 28MPG or more on the readout (so far). 180+ miles driven. I'd think it's more like 27 since I've seen the display be 1-3MPG too optimistic, but I haven't filled up yet so I don't know if it's wrong. I've also seen the display be 0.1MPG different from the pump/miles driven calculation as well.
NOTE: Special Conditions refers to the following, in which a V6 hybrid SUV dinged as a "fuel sucking pig" (and whose owners frequently gripe about 22MPG against a 27-28 rating) can return 34MPG(!).
On the highway, if the traffic rarely truly stops but also rarely exceeds 40MPH, it is possible to obtain these extreme numbers (30MPG+) through pulse-and-glide. This was verified over six weeks of driving through Boston's Big Dig.

801kms on 47.38L - 5.91L/100kms or 39.8mpg!!! +95% highway at 100km/h, ish... not bad mileage when you put in a little effort! Usually my bat-out-of-hell driving gets me 32-34mpg)

filled up today, I had some room to keep going, another day or two but all the stations I passed on the way home from work were at $3.79. on the way to work they were $3.49. One station was still at 3.49 so I filled up.
57.9MPG a new record by .2mpg !
I almost made it to my goal of 58 MPG but not quite. I need to try harder this tank
still my 90 day is 85% over EPA! I am beating all of team Toyota and my 90 day is not cough up with my mods

I was just looking on the top % over epa list, I was surprised to see the aerotrix right under it's roll model, the aerocivic. 85.8% to 88.4% over epa.
I did not realize that by that marker I am almost to meeting what I thought i would never do, make and get MPG like the master
