Just under 12k miles in 9.5 months and so far the gas mileage has been pretty good.
Usually if I take the car to work, I'll average ~40mpg going into town and ~32mpg coming back to Kailua (mostly due to stop and go traffic in town). When my wife takes it (Kailua to Waipio), she'll get ~42mpg depending on how heavy the right foot is feeling. haha!
Recently, we've been making lots of drives out to Kapolei/Makakilo in search of our permanent residence. Since I remembered this time around, I took a picture of the reported consumption: 43.6mpg!
Typically, we can get in the mid-40's going 60-65mph across the H3 and H1 to Kapolei. I've even seen low-40's going 70... hehe.
I guess the only better vehicle would be an all electric, but I have yet to see a nice, stylish electric vehicle. Hybrids still use gas so I don't really get how one would be "going green", not to mention that the batteries are not exactly easy to dispose.
I'll take my clean diesel TDI all day over ANY hybrid, period. Suck on my clean diesel air, Prius :)
