Yeah, rural roads rock; here are shots of two 500+ mile tanks; the 36 mpg tank (534.8 miles / 14.883 gallons = 35.934 mpg) was done in Nebraska and Colorado, the "Runner-Up" tank showing 34 mpg (516.8 miles / 14.559 gallons = 35.497 mpg) was done in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
That's impressive. During a recent trip to Portland, I got about 450 to the tank @ 15 gallons with 90% freeway. Maybe my tire/wheel setup needs to be tweaked.

One wise man once told me, you don't buy V6 AWD or V8 to save on gas and get good mileage ... I have to say I agree with him
I know my avg mpg just because computer shows it on MID

slow down, lol.
cruise at 55mph and watch your MPG sky rocket.
when I take road trips, other drivers are pissed off at me for going so slow! got big rigs tailgating, then over taking, then cutting me off to take the exit.

I cannot force myself to drive 55, hell, I can't even force myself to drive at 65. The two mileage runs I showed above showed average speeds of 68 and 72, which in turn means my typical speed was well up into the 70s except for traffic and bio-break stops.

That's true. 55MPH is a great speed to save gas but unfortunately I honestly would get a ticket or something for driving that slow on the freeway. WA state patrol got too much time on their hands. I also cruise at 70mph on trips.
