Well, first tank got me 30.9 mpg. I'm pretty happy ,since the last car (92 Camaro) got 24mpg or so.
Round trip picking up my daughter from college I got 35.3 mpg, doing 70mph, uphill into northcentral PA from southeast PA.
On the trip to take her back, I tried 75mph and only got 31mpg. I guess I know the Acent';s sweet spot.
Interestingly, the mileages were 266.6 and 266.7, filled @ the same pump on two different trips on the turnpike. Just a freak chance that the local mileage on both tankfuls was the same.
