I confess, I used to drive fast and figured what everyone else was saving allowed that much more for me to have. I'm sorry.

After driving my 4 Runner for 6000 miles and averaging 15.6 mpg (I tow but never get over 16.5) I decided to "test" it. I drove it last night to Home Depot on a 40 mile round trip route. It's a route I can get around 40 mpg with the TCH. I drove slow. Not only slow, but I tried my best to put no more pressure on the throttle than necessary to obtain the speed I wanted. I drove 50 on the first and last 5 miles of the rural road and 65 (on a 70 miles per hour interstate) and couldn't believe when I got home I had 21 mpg on the trip. This is with the V8 Sport edition. I honestly didn't expect more than 17 as that would have been better than what I had ever seen.

This is starting a whole new page in my quest towards the ultimate FE.
