That's good enough to get me in the top 100 on the "Percent Over EPA" list
There's a Top 100 Over EPA List?

Took a little trip to Montpelier, VT today to put in paper work for my Enhanced Drivers License. I was going to get it before my surgery( June 6), but didn't 'round get to it. Temps in the lower 80s F, max usual speed of 50mph( not counting coasting). EOff Coasting, DWL( down to 40 if no traffic, rolled down drivers window on return trip when coasting only, front tires aired to 50psi( 44 sidewall max) rear 44, refilled at usual pump, 176.6 miles-2.986 gallons=59.14 mpg. I finally beat the 57mpg I scored in the rally earlier this summer. Now if I can just repeat it on my following tanks.

Many thanks( again) to ecomodder!

P.S. Does anyone else shout at the pump to "SHUT OFF ALLREADY!!"?
