Because of that I know that if it says low 60's I am doing OK.

Right now it's at 61 point something with 7 bars of fuel left so I'm a little behind, thanks to a relentless driving wind. I'd guess my calculations will come out to about 63-64 in the end.
now there is something i have been wondering about. how many bars are in the fuel display, and do they correspond to a certain amount of gas, say one per gallon? just wondering…

watch out. this will probably jinx me, but i am still holding right below 62MPG with 250 miles on this tank.....

.

Best fill 66.7 MPG, best tank 801.5 miles
