As posted a few weeks ago... I usually get about 19 driving around town, but I had to go on a trip - so I tried to see how high I could get the mileage.

160 miles - a mix of highway and city:

We've run out of gas in Asheville, NC - seriously long lines and waiting, for regular unleaded. So, with 1/2 tank premium, 1/2 tank regular, and a 1/2 bottle octane boost, I checked mileage picking up a friend at the airport yesterday...

29mpg for the first 20 mile leg, and 28 mpg on the way home. whaaa???

I've seen 26-27 on the highway, at 70mph and cruise set... maybe I should be running my new "fuel cocktail" in the future! Just kidding....
