    Yup.
    Anything above 12mpg is a bonus for me. :) Came from a gas guzzler and I drive how I like to drive.

    I'm at almost 15k miles and I was always running around 44-47mpg.
    I recently put on some 19 inch 235s and hitting 42-45mpg now.

    Definitely going to try what Preebee said though--going to turn off my AC for a while. I've never really turned it off since day one as I never considered how it might affect MPG.

    I turned off the climate control and saw an improvement. Now that it's warmer I go to and from the office along the lake about 15 miles each way and get 70-ish mpg.

    Indication over 65 MPG tank average, total range over 610 miles. Just trying to not use the AC. Will be interesting to see what the actual tank mileage sorts out to. best so far closing in on 5k on the odometer. Think I'll pass on the 5 k service or drop and fill the oil without touching the filter. Dealership does it for free at 10k. Base model LE.

    IMHO; you should change the filter too - the OEM filter isn't that expensive. The point of the early oil change is to dump out all the break-in debris, leaving a dirty filter seems to be counterproductive. Kinda like taking a shower/bath then putting your dirty underwear/clothes back on.

    Just my 2-cents.....
