For my typical daily commute (suburban to medium size city and back) I usually log 27-28 mpg and occasionally get it as high as 30.

Yeah, her daily commute is 11 miles 1 way, with about 8 miles of it at 40-45mph, a mile of 70mph (to cross the river), with the balance being 35. My commute at the time was 14 miles off 55mph, a 1/2 mile of 35, and 3 blocks of 25mph. Now my vehicles mostly sit at home, except for beer or parts runs (I work from home now).

We use her car for road trips though, and it gets 27-28, because I'm doing the driving.
