Low tire pressures took nearly 10mpg from me on my daily commute.

My eddie is returning average 25mpg over the last 950 mles, journey to work is only 7 miles in traffic, so kind of expected with it being so cold and taking so long to warm up. Bit disappointed that it does also include a trip up to the lakes driven at granny pace, 200 mile round trip.
