I didn't see anyone mention this, surprisingly, but what are your tire pressures set at? You can add 2-5psi for better mileage, but your ride will be a little rougher. I do this ok both my cars, but are recommended 30psi, I run 35 in each. Helps the mpgs go up 2-3 or so.

Had to post. A little off topic but relevant. This is my friends truck in this video.

So I hit the switch for my line lock and ran it through 1st thru. 3rd gear and smoked out the entire intersection. Then the the light turned green and I stopped burning out and slowly drove off!
The guy way steaming mad!

I make it a point to purposefully park next to every electric car tree hugging person I can so that when they return to their matchbox car they are reminded of why they bought that hunk of poo.....
so that they could leave me more gas to use up at the pump.

I had a prius driver yell at me the other day at a light while I was driving my 65 fastback mustang.

I don't. They trash their cars and are always filthy, if not covered in dings and dents. I don't want my cars anywhere near those pieces of shyte.

I noticed something a little weird yesterday. I did nothing but very light throttle inputs on the way home and the mpg pretty much didn't budge from about 21.7. As I got closer to home and got in a little more aggressive traffic, I took it off cruise and upped my speed from 70 to 75-78, but had to get on and off the throttle as I moved in and out of traffic. This was in the last maybe 10 miles of my 65+ mile commute. In that short time, my mpg went up to 22.4. Errrr, yeah....

lol...I've seen that video before.
"Is it your right to make this much pollution with your g--d--- car anyway?!"
Yes. Yes it is. And thank you for saving the gas for me to burn.

During the Michigan winter of 2014... when I can't use the loud petal, 21-23 MPG depending on how wet the roads are. So far with dry roads and a 60 mile round trip commute, 18-20 depending on my mood. That skinny pedal on the right is amazingly addictive, my first few tanks were under 17mpg even with my commute... LOL.
Just like you, I told the wife it wouldn't be much worse than my 04 jetta at 24 mpg and boy was I wrong... LOL
