Welcome Connecticut.

rpdog is right. I too remember when I used to struggle to get 600 miles. I now get over 600 regularly. I've only hit 700 miles once so far, and I had to literally run myself out of gas to do it, so I think I have found the outer limits of my particular driving style, but 650 to 700 miles on 12 gallons of gas is still pretty **** good.

Now if you really want to reach a Zen state, I recommend getting a satelite radio and cruise down the road listening to Sirius Blues 29 while getting 55 MPG.

It's a truly beautiful thing.
