09 Just Got 41 MPG!
Today I had a chance to drive ~125 miles on the NJTPK. ~62 miles there and ~62 miles back after an hour or so. 65 mph.
Before that I drove 107 miles 7 miles at a time. Ive been getting 35 mpg under those circumstances. Thats almost all the driving my car ever does! So at the end of the trip with 239 miles showing on ODO 1 and five bars showing on the gauge (driving about 40 miles on the fifth bar) I put 5.85 gallon of regular in the tank. Got to think I had very nearly four bars when I filled up! The end result was 40.8 mpg!  So 107 miles at 35 mpg means I got better than 40.8 on the highway at 65 mph.  The bad news is my 01 ECHO with manual trans got 53 mpg once driving to AC and back at 65 mph.
