Gas Mileage check.... just went on long road trip

If your interested...

I just got back from a roadtrip from Olive Branch, MS to Gulf SHores, AL.

put a total of 1062 miles on the car in 5 days,
but i got 29 miles to the gallon.

And this was with the cruise set at 80 the whole way and daily stop and go traffic at the beach. Not bad IMO.

Which means your cruising MPG was probably around 31. Pretty good!

I just returned from an extended trip and also got great mileage. I put on 8,000kms (5,000mls) and got 35mpg imperial which is 30 US I believe. That's what I like about the car, it's a good compromise of comfort, performance, value, and economy (mileage).

Down and back to the PAA meet on Sunday, I averaged 26.7 MPG, which included about an hour of stop-and-go traffic and another hour of me doing 80 in 4th instead of 5th (because I forgot to shift up after getting back up to speed). I probably would have been over 28 with straight highway driving.....
