We'll see then. Maybe I'll try it for a trip or two there. It's just the mentality of making a long trip even longer.

I've barely averaged 34 mpg in the last 90 days. I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I still coast down quite a bit, not as much as I used to, but surely not 6 mpg worth of coasting.

I keep trying harder and harder every tank, but it just doesn't seem to achieve much of anything. I think this next fill up will only get me about 36 mpg.
