record breaking tank in my Saturn Vue today.

34.86 mpg (hwy) , I discovered that simply setting the cruise control at 55 mph will yield results like this on the highway.

most satisfying moment of the day: some guy tailgating me for ~2 miles, couldn't pass because of traffic in other lanes. finally finds himself an opening and zooms past, i notice the nice little hybrid symbol on the back of his tahoe...

he pulls into a rest stop about half a mile after passing me. I got off too, nature calls :-S

he recognized my car and asked "Why the hell do you drive so gawddamn slow?"

I simply showed him the 32mpg tank readout on the scanguage. he told me hes never seen above 18 in the tahoe hybrid. he also saw the back of my car, which i currently carrying about 700lbs of stuff. I'm moving cross country. :-)

BTW im too lazy to update my fuel log, so w/e
