I'm finally starting to pick up where I was last fall. I did a roadtrip to a permaculture workshop on the western slope and managed 40.5mpg for the round trip. Considering this also included five miles up a nasty, rocky, rutted dirt road where I couldn't get out of first gear for 25 minutes and really never got to coast down on the way out, I'd say it was an outstanding tank. Still not record setting, but it is only my fifth tank over 40mpg (in a car EPA highway rated for 28mpg), so I'll take it.
