2,315 mile round trip @ 41.2
I just finished a 2,315 mile trip over 6 days. I averaged 41.2 for the trip, with a 42.4 mpg high tank. 2 tanks over 600 miles - one sweating it and one with plenty left. The 42.4 high included 3 days of piddling in Destin, FL.
I wish I could have had more patience. With discipline (65 mpg max), I believe I could have easily gotten 45. I started with 37.5 psi and went to 43 in Destin.
My tanks averaged 64.4 & 64.5 miles per hour, except the Destin tank - it was 52 because of the town driving.
I drove 65 *most* of the time. There were sections of interstate through cities that were marked at 60. And then the few mile of adolescence when I felt my "carhood" challanged - a *rapid* acceleration to around 100 and then 85 - 90 for about 5 miles.
It's *amazing* how much the mileage would jump going through those 60 miles per hour zones. I would run those about 58.
I don't often get to run a tank in 1 or 2 days because of the range - these were the first. It does make a difference!
