It is not Minnesota, but it is not ideal, either. Things are working nicely. But I had hoped to hit 70mpg this tank. Still, I'm hopeful I might get to a 65mpg three-tank or 90-day average yet this fall.
Very nice, congrat's my 90 day average projection for the next refuel is 61.14mpg and falling due to colder weather wind and rain. I thought I had you, but you sliped into a zone I won't be able to reach until next summer.
However you should see me in your "ecomodder mpg" rear view mirror at my next refuel.
