Thats Hybrid territory!! I'm pretty sure I can at least get 35 mpg. I may get a hybrid (or EV) in a couple of years when Lithium-ion batteries take over, but I'm happy for now.
wow that some GREAT mileage! If you do keep up your habits, the gas savings will add up! Don't become one of those hyper milers who do ANYTHING for the extra few miles. Eg turn your car up on the highway while tail gating a transport truck.
