you didn't describe the weather conditions, and I take it you were driving at least 80
mph. You had 3 stops. Without the three stops you would have to have driven around 74
mph. If I stay close to 60
mph, my tank stays mid to high 50 mpg even when it is 30-40 degrees. I get over 60 mpg when the temp gets closer to 70. 80
mph is not efficient for ANY car. You are still getting nearly twice the average vehicle at that speed. It is all relative (and not your cousin
).
