      Yeah haha, the autos drink gas. I never really drove though so it was never a huge issue with me.

      I'm getting about 32mpg with 75% highway. Automatic, newish plugs and filter. The plugs REALLY woke up the fuel mileage for me, but it sounds like others are still struggling even with a tune-up. Not sure why. Maybe a new coil pack?

      Lmao, having tinted windows does help...

      About 2/3 of my commute is 65mph (105km/hr) and the rest 50mph (80km/hr).

      Hmm that is pretty solid. I know most of my highway driving was around 70-80mph depending on the traffic flow. I know I burning gas quite a bit quicker at those speeds haha. The auto in the city is a MPG killer though, especially if it is stop and go at 40 and under.

      363 is my max range. I'm thinking of adding a secondary fuel cell.

      With my 2005 HB aveo, in the 10 gallon tank I can range 385-395 miles, that's give and take around 39MPG with 90% freeway travel by going 55mph. I know I can improve more with few more maintenance and upgrade.
