gas mileage
#12
Yes 35! Back in 2008 there was a huge discussion about breaking 300 miles on a tank. There were many people who had and continue to do it often. I raised the question about breaking 400 miles in a tank. The consensus was that it could not be done. I decided to donate a tank of fuel to the cause. I planned to route to incorporate some scenery. I visited Mt. St. Helens. I drove a total of 404 miles on 11.511 gallons of Premium for 35.0968 mpg.
For some reason Stella gets good mpg. The trip to Home Coming we drove 2705 miles and I averaged 28.88 mpg. That included Nevada, let's just say we moved our average mph up 2.8 mph on day 4 of the trip.
My Cross country drive was 3488 miles and averaged 29.06 mpg. This was with the Hard Top on.

We run 10% corn juice here in most of Ohio. I'm told pure gasoline will yield more miles/gallon. As will slowing down. But I'm not ready to go that far! 300 miles per tank should not even be a question!

Since June, I've gotten 27.9 MPG with my '00 AP1. 93 octane always, shifting around 3k, about 1000 of those miles were highway. I try to stay at 70mph with cruise control on. (Top always down, of course.)

Though shifting at 3K? I swear that's where my car idles and 70 on the highway top down I don't think I could hope to get even 25MPG.

Since the end of April Stella has consumed miles at a rate of 29.4 smiles per gallon.
My Lexus shows a huge difference in mpg from summer blend to winter blend fuel. I see about a 12% decrease in mpg when winter fuel hits the stations.
