Hey guys, if you need any specific data, I can maybe gather, I am running CVTz50. Or anything that might require a long trip to determine. Use me as a tester.

Do you use the forum's Fuel Economy Log? Please do, and notate in the log that this is your "10k miles per month use." Something like that. It would create an interesting lump of data in the fuel log. Also, notate the speeds you try to hold during this.
What are you doing that's going to rack up that kind of mileage? I think the Mirage makes a helluva trip car. Sure it could be bigger and more comfortable, but to me the driver's seat and driver's area is plenty good enough. And sure, the mpg does take a bit of a hit at 70+ mph ... but even after the hit, it's still mo' bettuh than any other gasoline ICE that I'm aware of. A 1.9L diesel Jetta might be competitive though. In any event, this will make good interesting info.

We got dumped on last night, but it wasn't that much. Enough to close schools around here, but they probably just wanted a 3-day weekend anyways.
I knew we would get some more snow, because I took the snow tires off my Mirage & my snowplow off my ATV. It was bound to happen!
I use Fuelly. It's quick, easy, and you can keep maintenance records there too. I find using cruise works great on these thing to keep rpm down low. I can't manipulate the throttle to keep speed up and rpm down like the car can using cruise control. It's weird, or maybe I just have a lead foot?

It's probably your Alberta foot
I managed to get way better gas mileage in the hills especially off of cruise, on the flats and semi flats as well, I am the better cruise control. It's good for when I get tired of pedaling
