    It's 34F degrees out and I just got home from work tonight. I had one pip left and decided to stop and fill up before tucking in for the night. I reset the MFD and drove home the four miles and the MFD showed 97.3 mpg. I love that drive home, mostly downhill, few stops and 30 mph speed limit. Of course it will be all uphill from here, but for those four miles every two weeks, I feel so good. :)

    One of these days I'm going to fill up my tank at the top of the hill, overlooking Reno, and coast all the way home for 115miles. :lol:

    Why bother with the fill up ?
    1) You obviously wouldn't need the gas if you could coast all the way home. ;)
    2) The fill-up would be less expensive in the valley than in the Sierra. :lol:

    By the way, 50 is better than 80 when it comes to MDF fun from the summit.
    On 50 you can make it all the way from Echo Summit to Folsom (about 70 miles) with the MDF showing 99.9 MPG. :)

    I live in Lincoln so by going I80 I can hit 193 below Auburn and coast all the way to my front door. Hahaha
