I agree with BBF. 40 mpg is still quite decent for an FFH. My average for 10 years (100% record of all gasoline that has gone into the car, 149K miles now) is a hair under 40 mpg. I can get high 40's on local runs at speeds in the 50's, but the worst mileage for me is the short runs up to the tennis courts and back, where the engine barely gets up to temp. Side note, I checked yesterday, my original brake pads on the front have 8 mm of thickness left, I call that almost like new. The back ones have worn from 7 mm down to 4 to 5 mm, not enough to justify new pads. My FFH has been a very low maintenance vehicle, my favorite also.
