I was on a two lane highway for about a 30 minute drive. This is two days after my tranny flush and fill with synthetic. That's the only thing different I've done, and previously I was lucky to get 15 mpg on the same trip. Keep in mind that's all highway with no traffic lights, etc., but I'm pretty happy.

I wonder if I could do that by maxing out the tire pressure just for the trip... Hmmm.

Wow, lucky you. Wish I could get that kind of MPG.

I get about 9 gallons to the mile.

No, not 9 miles to the gallon... 9 gallons to the mile.

Lol, screw my life.

It was on NC Highway 221 between Marion and Rutherfordton, with no traffic lights, a couple of 45 mph zones, and lots of hills but averages out about the same elevation. I zeroed out the display once I entered the highway and snapped the picture right before the exit. It was about 20 miles. I don't expect to get that kind of mileage on average, in fact it came down to about 15 by the time I ran around in town the afternoon and then got back home on the same highway. I just couldn't resist posting that picture with the number over 20.
