I can hardly believe it myself, but I just hit 35.74 mpg.

Something like 80-90 percent highway driving. Of which I, but maybe one small trip, never went over 55 mph.

I probably would've had an even better tank had my radiator not had a small leak that required using Bars Leak and leaving my car idle for a bit. My dad also found it necessary to rev the engine up while it was idling too. It was probably a 10 minute ordeal.

I'm not sure how easy this tank will be to replicate and improve on. Maybe once I don't have 6 and 3 mile trips everyday for school.
