Oh, and I have the pzev on there, which I've heard affects it too...

Jack, #1 It does(can) get better. I started with about 32-33mpg averages and now have 35-36mpg with 7500 on the odometer. Doing mostly Minneapolis/St.Paul interstate commuting with traffic and construction.
#2 - Work on slowing that quick zero to 30. The trottle is very sensitive. Keep a very light foot.
