I used to struggle to get close to 38mph back in the Midwest, but now the Camry Hybrid gets 40.1 in the Boston area without me even trying hard. I don't think the local/highway mix really changed. And it's more hilly here. Smoother road?

Quality of CFLs
... really varies a lot from my experience. Some are just solid "as advertised", but others can disappoint. I particularly had bad experience with Meijer store brand ones. There're 3 or 4 of them going bad on me in a few short years, and none of them were heavily used. CFLs are promised to have longer lifespan, which is needed to realize energy cost savings. If they don't even last as long as regular bulbs, you actually end up spending more on lighting, even though the carbon footprint may still be smaller. So, go with the proven brands - as always I guess.

39.1 MPG on Camry
The good workhorse is still going strong. This tank I got an 39.1 average. I was careful but didn't do anything extraordinary. More than 18% higher than EPA rating, nice!
