.. to work and back this week, and the low fuel light isn't on yet. I drive 4 miles to the freeway, then 12 miles on the interstate, then the rest of about 22 miles thru the country, between 45-55 miles an hour, with three little towns along the way, 35 mph. I think that's great

Good. I usually run 430 to 450 miles to the tank when I'm travelling to work. Mostly all interstate miles, averaging 65 to 72 mph.

Wow, I could never expect that. On the interstate I run 68-76.

I made it from Albany to Wilmington DE in 4 hours and got 23 mpg, pretty good for the first drive with my new V1 :banana:

How do you guys make your cars only go 72-72 MPH?
Egg on the gas pedal
Tacks and bare feet?
I don't get it.

I did get 21.3 MPG last trip to Atl @ 80-90 :D

the way I keep my speed down, is limited funds I'm willing to give the po po for tickets.

I know how you drive, but I don't work for the Po Po. BTW what race are you, and Mark going to next year, Darlington?

That explains your gas mileage results. If boost was involved you'd be lucky to make 300 before it goes bone dry.

Performance > Gas Mileage. :burnout:

This was to be cute BTW. :D

Happy Maraudering to you.

We drove 570+ miles up north (Michigan) and back (80% freeway or so) this weekend on a tank of gas. I figured it out to be an average of about 26 miles per gallon. I'm certainly not complaining. Wife's '09 Escape V-6 on the freeway MAYBE gets 22-24 MPG, average.

what race are you, and dad going to next year, Darlington? Not sure. I know we're leaning toward STAP. NASCAR-wise, Bristol is next on the list. If we can't get tickets for that, Watkins Glen would be next in line.
