But that is you driving in South Carolina, no? I would bet your mpg would drop just a bit if most of your driving was done in the Sierra Nevada, or the Nevada desert. Let's see: Highest point in South Carolina: Sassafras Mtn at 3560 ft. My house down here in the valley: 4800 ft. Pass I climbed today to go skiing: 8911 ft. Reported snowfall for the past 72 hrs: 44 inches at Mt. Rose Ski Area (but only about a foot down at my place).
See why comparing your mpg with mine is maybe not quite as simple as matching numbers?
