    we drove from the Sf bay area to LA (disneyland)

    only avg about 35mpg...:(


    reason being,
    we had 4 adults,
    cargo full of bags,
    and my friend drove around 95mph 85% of the way!
    (he got up to 105mph, but then the car felt it was gonna fall apart)



    only filled up 3 times, and the total cost was around $52

    a lot better than my fx35, which cost $45 for gas after the first 240miles.

    Nice to know! I'm doing a trip similar to that next weekend. OC to San Jose and back, but only 2 adults, and probably with 2 medium-sized duffels. :)

    That is a lot of gas used. Of course at 95mph.. :D

    I drove cross country last year at 75mph and it cost me less than $150. It was around 3000 Miles.
