    Post your recent fuel economy here, along with a brief description of the conditions. Photo optional.

    On a vacation to the Adirondacks last weekend, I got 55.5mpg overall on a very scenic and enjoyable 780mi round trip.

    Here's the rural interstate leg of the trip, where I got 53.4mpg with the cruise control locked at 73mph. The recorded average speed was dragged down by two rest stops and a small amount of traffic. A/C off, windows up.

    Impressive for real world driving, even though you didn't use a whole tank. That's two pretty short rest stops.

    Not necessarily. If he turns the car off it doesn't matter how long it stays off. This is the trip B not the odometer from start screen. As long as he gets back on the hwy and continues at 70, he'll keep his speed up. :)

    77.1mpg on my 8.5 mi trip home from work today. We're probably having the last warm weather of the year, so I expect the fuel economy to start dropping.

    You can have that cold, we are just now having weather that isn't in the 90s.

    I'm putting 800 miles a week on mine(62% highway) and averaging just a tad over 50mpg consistently. I used to fill up every two days, now its twice a week.
