Thank you.
Congrats on getting the car.
What numbers are you seeing... at what speeds and for what trip length? Those will be the big factors.
I'm sure some cold climate members will chime in with some info.

Using some hypermiler techniques on my hilly drive to work of 89miles I was able to average 49mpg if I drive normal I get about 41mpg. Havent had a big snow storm but the negative 10 days I was still getting in between 40 and 50
I've been getting 47-48mpg on the highway lately. Mine is a 5 speed. I travel around 60mph.
This mpg is calculated at the pump, not from MID readings.
Come on over and join us in the Fuel Economy Log.

I do a 65 mile trek on the Indiana interstate with a manual mirage. Doing 60-65 MPH (keeping up with the semis, but not the cars) I average 47 to 52 MPG. Bumping that up to 70 MPH drops the fuel economy down to the 42-45 range. During one snow storm all traffic was going ~40 miles an hour the whole way and I got a jaw dropping 61 miles to the gallon on that trip.
Don't forget to mention your typical cruising speed with highway fuel economy results. (Helps put it the numbers in context.)

closedknuckle: as fifteen said, feel free to add your car to the garage and fuel log.
