34.79 MPG

421.9 mi, 12.128 gal @ 3.839 = 35.79 MPG

63,404 total miles. 76 in Hawthorne off I-405.

This tank as well as the next one were mainly freeway driving from San Jose to San Diego and back. I usually drive 65 MPH for my commute but it's tough to maintain that speed on I-5 when everyone else is doing 75 or 80+. As mentioned before, the hybrid gets worse gas mileage on the highway than in the city or stop and go, and all cars get worse mileage at higher speeds. I usually see about a 10% decrease in MPG above 65 MPH. This drive is so long anyway, I had to put the pedal down and just get there already.
