I do not know if I should contribute this improvement to change in driving habits (not really, i still drive the same), change in fuel composition (but last summer there was not such a difference), or the fact that I did a few oil changes rather with short interval (approx. 5000 miles apart) along with using Liqu-Molly engine flush before the oil change and then dumping in 12 fl.oz. of AUTO-RX into the engine, and also replacing the torn CCV membranes, in effort to reduce the blue smoke... I do get the blue smoke on EXTENDED idling, but not on the short ones, like the traffic signals or the traffic jams that are moving... which is also an improvement.

what do you think?
If it were me I would expect I hit the wrong button on the calculator.

I'm going to do all those things you did every month. By my calculations I will be getting 32.2 mpg in a year.
