Great gas mileage on my long trip
I averaged over 30MPG on my trip to Florida & back last week.
The cruise control was set between 80-85 for most of the highway portions.
These are the gas stops going down and back on the Interstates.
While in Florida, I only averaged about 20MPG on the tank I used for around town driving.
Here are the numbers for my SIX highway gas stops:
13.05-GAL used over 389-miles = 29.80 MPG
11.78-GAL used over 386-miles = 32.76 MPG
13.60-GAL used over 431-miles = 31.69 MPG
14.79-GAL used over 435-miles = 29.41 MPG
13.40-GAL used over 372-miles = 27.76 MPG
11.68-GAL used over 358-miles = 30.65 MPG
I guess the multiple coats of ZAINO makes my car nice and slippery for less wind resistance.

Woah did you set your car on cruise or something? I get tempted too easily when I set it to cruise on 70~75. I just get a urge to go into vtec then it ruins my gas mileage
