Aaaand, here it is. My last tank was 23.1 mpg. Too much traffic in Phoenix!!
On a side note, speaking of Phoenix traffic, almost got creamed today. Driving to work, cruise set to 55 in a 50 miles per hour zone. Two lane undivided with passing zones. Ahead of me I see a dump truck coming my way. I look away and look back. Now I see the same dump truck plus some beater of a car, side by side, coming right at me! I start to think, "what's this guy doing?? He's not going to make it!" So I hit my brakes hard and come careening to a stop JUST as the beater (and some geeky looking boy all of maybe 16 years old behind the wheel) whips back into his lane just in front of the dump truck, narrowly missing my front bumper. At that point, I don't know if I was more scared or more pissed off. I was definitely feeling plenty of both! Man oh man if I didn't stop when I did... Butthole finally unpuckered, I lifted my foot off the brake, and continued on my way to work.
