Best fuel mileage you have ever gotten?
My 1st extended trip. Almost 200 miles. This was from Bozeman to West Yellowstone and back.
Got 21.3 MPG on the way down. Pretty much all uphill, slightly, elevation from 4800 to 7600 ft. Temp 77 to 93 degrees.
But on the way back I got 29.4 MPG! Mostly downhill with a little tail wind.
This is mostly 60-70 MPH two lane road. A/C on the whole time.
I am very impressed. That gives me a 25.3 MPG average!
Very, very happy. And I don't think the overhead reads high.
When checked it after 480 miles, it said 17.7 and when I calculated it out I really got 18.1 MPG. This was all around town driving.

The best MPG I've even done was 22.92 MPG
The worst MPG I've even done was 15.59 MPG
My going average over 40K miles worth of logs is 17.44 MPG currently.
Its not the greatest but it ain't as bad as Mom's gasser!
Mom's High MPG is 16.16 MPG
Her low is 10.12 MPG
Her going average is 10.52 MPG
No wonder she is asking me to take her to the store huh?
