First time over 50mpg
Take a look at my fuel logs. I have driven my venerable 86 VW diesel for about 8000 miles now. This week I got 50 mpg for the first time. This month I've worked with an 2x4' election sign that I have been fairly hording since Nov.
75% of my miles are on 4 lane, packed to the gills. I do drive gravel roads for about 20 miles each tank. The rest are 5-15 mile commuting runs.
I haven't had many motorcycles that would get 50mpg and none that would carry any real load. I am well pleased with this car that is older than many on this list.
I have purchased sheets of coroplast in the past and know a guy in central Illinois that sells sheets of it. I just never get over that way. I can imagine driving my big van on a road trip to save 1 cent a mile.
