I got 21.3 MPG wiht the following driving profile: cruise at 70 for 5 minutes, decelerate to 55 then 45 then 35 then accellerate to 45 then 55 then cruise at 70 for 5 minutes; then repeat. (Rural Oklahoma). This weekend I will be getting more like 7.0 at TWS.....

It's pretty consistent at 16-17. Wonder what the difference is?
