Dumb question:
Has anyone figured the fact that a major altitude change may affect it a little? I don't know if it effects gas mileage but I do know it effects power since air density changes at higher altitudes.
I average 25-27 MPG in a lot of stop and go traffic. I'm also at 3200-3400 ft above sea level. I havent had it on the highway yet but I plan on a trip to Southern Cali for a family reunion in a week. Maybe I'll find out then. 40 MPG is making me rethink the money I need to have for the trip. Hopefully I can do that good.

I imagine your gas mileage will improve once hitting the highways.
I drove from So Cal to michigan in 3 days; I chose the sotuhern route (I-5 to 405 to the 40) Instead of the more nothern route to avoid the altitude and mountainous terrain. I got excellant mileage on california highways. Only suffered a little on a friday or sunday rush, or when the Immigration check point got backed up.
