With my Celebrity, I used to consistently get 29 mpg to work and back and 32 mpg downstate and back, which is better than even the old EPA numbers for highway. Always going the speed limit. That was before joining here and learning mods, driving tricks, instrumentation, everything. See the first few entries of my fuel log. My friend always said I drove like a granny, even when I thought I was driving pretty spirited. Maybe he was right.

One thing I noticed that before trying, my mileage used to be very consistent. Since then, it varies greatly depending on weather conditions but is still always better than what I used to get.
