Best mileage I ever got in a non hybrid was 300 miles on 4.627 gallons of fuel. Summer of 2008 in my 94 VX. I64 west to Richmond, then I95 north to exit 152B to Chantilly. Gas was spiking at $4 a gallon and the big rigs were slowing down to 64 MPH in a 65 zone.

Right lane, 3 stripes behind, always the shoulder as an escape route. Same pump same station, same day. Rode home at night with the lights on, might have hit 70 MPG if it had been daylight. On the ride back there was once 12 big rigs in front of me in a train, trying THEIR best to get max mileage.
