I used to be able to achieve 35mpg in my auto 9-5 on freeway trips w/o the AC running, and 30mpg on my daily commutes, but no more. I now consider myself lucky to see anything over 26mpg for my commutes!
Almost all local fuel is advetised on the pump as containing 10% ethanol, LOTS of miles on the odometer, and different tires have probably combined for my mpg reduction. Not even considering the speed increase on local expressways!
