I did it. I wanted to reach 1000 miles and I did, but I chickenned out! I didn't make it to 1100 miles.
1021 miles at a somewhat disapointing 63.8 mpg. This is the best mpg I've got on a tank, but I was expecting more given the effort I've put into that tank. I filled 16 gallons, so I still had 1.5 gallons left in the tank.
It still was far from a perfect tank. I was jammed an hour in traffic for 2 miles going uphill, so that killed a good 10-15 miles off the tank. 10% of the tank was done driving in the city. I also lugged a lot of stuff around and between Quebec and Montreal as I was moving and working on the house.
Most of the driving was at 56 mph on the freeway. 10% of the miles were EOC.
I now moved to Mirabel, QC. My new commute will be very mpg friendly. Weather permitting, I might have a shot at another 1100 miles tank this year. It's already starting to get chilly in the morning here.
