I try to bike or walk distances under 30 min by foot or bike. Not great for a car to make short trips, and gives me reason to stay active talking care of things.

STarting to figure out this car.

I've gone from averaging 320-340 to 260-280 on a full tank. This morning, the MPG gauge is telling me I'm getting around 43-45 mpg at 60mph. I have snow tires all around (175-65-14). With wider tires, and rolling resistance near extinction, I expected this kind of mileage. Tires are all at 40psi as well. I use to warm up the car for 3-4 minutes but now I find that it's a bit better to have it idle for about 45 seconds and drive it. The car does warms up much faster.

Checked some fuel receipts and fixed my fuel log. Still very disappointed given initial research on what these cars are capable of.
I can not drive any greener. I’m hypermiling it hard.
I can only assume the mountainous terrain is to blame, that said I’m pulsing before, gradually decelerating for the climb then gliding down all of em.
I can’t beat 5l/100. I see about 30% of the fuel logs sit at 55mpg. No idea how!

You've only owned your car in cold weather. If you're getting low 40 mpg in winter, you'll likely see high 40s in summer. Possibly even 50 mpg. I usually see a ~15-20% penalty in winter.
