Actually I have not. It starts with about 6 miles and 6 stop signs/lights to get out of the community - most is at 40
MPH. Then it's a fairly long 10 mile run at about 50
MPH, 5 stop lights along the way. Then it's the highway for the last 7 miles into work - 60
MPH (3 stops before I hit the parking lot). The trip out is conjested but moves. The trip home is usually 10
MPH slower everywhere, 4 of the 7 highway miles are stop and go. the 6 miles into the community can be stop and go as well. After I fill the tank, the MPG guage will usually do the following:
Fill Up
Out: 65
Back: 54
Out: 56
Back: 51
Out: 53
Back: 49
Out: 51
Back: 48
Out: 50
Back: 49
-- That's where it bounces back and forth until the end of tank - usually 49 on the meter, 46 actual.

That's a really good idea. I'll give that a try.
I suppose my "segment" record would be after a fill up, from there to work. Best was 70 on the display (hit 67 earlier this week). So that's 23 miles one way. But never anything close for a tank - not with my route. I was curious if there was something new under the sun or some new revelation that hadn't been discussed yet.
