I just passed 12k miles and had the first service a few months ago. Maybe my car is an outlier but there seem to be a lot of people like me. I think 33 fwy is a fantasy unless you can drive a steady 55.

I should note I'm in California. Maybe our gas sucks. Currently winter blend so we can revisit in a few months.

Second note - I previously drove a Mercedes c250 rated at 31 mpg fwy that regularly hit 33-35mpg on the freeway. Apples to apples comparison - same commute.
