I can't believe it. We went on a trip last weekend that went up and down and through the twisties. Even went over a 5700 ft. mountain pass. Didn't baby the car or anything. Made a bunch of stops, went sightseeing, looked at the sights, etc. Put 280 miles on the car last Sunday, and then parked it for the week. Tonight we put about 30 more miles on it driving around town and a little bit of backroads. Stopped to put gas in it and I could only get 8.748 gallons in. It is completely full. We put 310.7 miles on the tank. That's 35.51 MPG boys and girls!
I'm psyched! It's never gotten over 31.5 on a long trip and it only did that once. My typical MPG is 29-30.
We may take another road trip this weekend and see if it's going to keep getting that kind of mileage. I was completely shocked that the pump kept shutting off. I kept playing with it thinking that the shutoff was messed up and I actually spilled a little.
