Thumbs up mpg on my 02 TLS jumps ! :D

I noticed that the mpg on my 02TLS went up since last couple of fill ups. Did they finally remove the addictive for the winter season ?

Anyway, the gas price is still high over here ... $2.27 for 91. Argh !!!

If you mix your Freeway and City driving you get like 20-22mpg. On all Freeway with constant speed you can get 27-31mpg.

My personal best was 35.5mpg on a trip to Davis traveling about 65-75mph with 4th gear upshift when passing. I figure I may have been able to get 37mph if I kept it in 5th.

With the mixed driving I do, I've gotten 19.5 to 22.5 mpg. I once went on a semi long trip to Lancaster and got 25 mpg. I've never had a chance to go all freeway between fillups.
