With 400 miles on the trip meter, I put in 8.4 gallons. But the goal was getting 400 miles and I had room to spare!

Im not doing anything special to make the mileage. Just normal driving. My commute to work is 52 miles one way. And I drive 75 mph on the freeway.

With about 36000 miles on my little red roller skate, I couldnt be happier. Its doing everything I wanted it to do.

This was about 47 MPG

Good luck!

Most of my driving is in town where I'm burning rubber at every light and screaming around every turn. My last tank was 38.2 mpg which is far better than I had been doing. My wife did +41 mpg on the first tank. I guess I have a heavy foot.

Just figured our MPG for the Dells rally and averaged 41mpg for the trip. The best was 45.5mpg, running around the Dells, down to Devils Lake, across the ferry and back to the Dells. The worst was 38.4mpg, Dells to the Twin Cities and down to Rachester,Mn. . 70mph with air on and loaded down, had to let Mary shop at Mall of America. Just turned 7k on this trip.

Nice MPG, mine was also in the 40's while in the Dells. No ethanol in their premium I noticed.
