For those from the area, my commute is from Arlington Heights to LaFox (SW of Geneva). IL-53 to I-90, I-90 West to Randall, and about a half-hour South on Randall.

I drive the speed limit (in the right lane of course) for most of the trip. On Randall I do my best to time the lights. That is the hard part. Way too many shopping malls and poorly timed lights...

Fortunately most of my trip is a reverse commute so I don't have to battle traffic. Although bumper-to-bumper traffic can really help your fuel economy!

Many of my trips were in the low 50 MPG range. The best was a 62.2 MPG trip from Downers Grove to LaFox. 20 miles down Roosevelt Road driving around 35-45 MPH.

The tank I posted was filled over the weekend. So far this week I'm at 163 miles and an indicated average of 49.6 MPG. My trips were: 46.4, 55.0, 49.5 and 51.7 MPG on the way home tonight. I'm really worried about the wind tomorrow and the cold.

Hopefully this wasn't too much detail!
