Today it was in single digits in the morning (7-9). On the commute in it got up to 13. Managed ~ 55 MPG on the MID on the way in. On good days in the summer I can push over 70 MPG for this trip into work.
On the way back not so good, about 50.3 MPG.
The car sits in a garage so that is helping for the morning commute. On the way back home, car is exposed to weather, so it takes longer to heat up.

Thanks. When I got 79.5 I was idling and coasting between 20-40mph on a fewback roads. I am sure next summer knowing what I know, no use of ac and a partial grill block I can easily beat that, but got to give the temp a critical eye.

That's awesome. It was definitely another cold one today. I had to really try hard to get over 42mpg in my Corolla, and it was in the afternoon when it went up to about 19 degress out. I can't wait to get an I2.
