    Ok, so this was only for my trip into work - 30 miles, but I was still very proud of it: 67.5 MPG! The weather is what did it, I think the low this morning was 60. Gotta take it in for an oil change today, which will mean it won't be quite what it is now, oh well.

    My last tank was my best ever as well - 56.0MPG, 617 miles, filled up with 11.3 gallons. What a good 15 days of driving it's been, Here's to hoping it'll stick around a bit longer!

    So how far did you go on one blinking?? You must ahve really pushed it to put in 11.3 gallons, rflagg! I think I got a bit over 10 once last summer, but usually it is in the 9-9.5 range. I chicken out soon after the last bar blinks at me...

    The 56 mpg tank was filled up on the 4th of this month(pretty sure it was summer gas) - I got in 11.5 gallons at that time, so I knew I had at least that much to go on.

    Last bar didn't start blinking until somewhere around 556 miles - I went 63.6 miles past the last bar blinking - usually my last bar starts blinking at 10 gallons if I'm able to fill to about 11-11.5 gallons.
