Posting 2 tanks:

Filled up on 5/20/08:

318.4 miles on 9.773 gallons of gas = 32.58 MPG. $4.69/gallon, $39.77 to fill the tank. 1/4 of the tank was all city driving, the rest was a 330 mile trip to Arcata where I'm now hoping to live for as long as I can. It's weird how city driving kills the tanks average even if most the tank is highway

.

Filled up on 5/30/08:

328.8 miles on 10.298 gallons of gas = 31.95 MPG. $4.43/gallon, $45.71 to fill the tank. 1/4 of the tank was highway driving, the rest was short city trips with the engine barely warmed up.

My next fill up will be either Sunday or Monday to see what I averaged on a 330 mile trip, drove back down to the valley to take care of some stuff. About 120 miles of it was very twisty winding roads with some steep hills, highway 36 for those who are familiar with California. The rest was very, very straight roads, boring as hell in other words.

**EDIT**

Last fill up for May:

413.4 miles on 11.235 gallons of gas = 36.79 MPG. $4.35/gallon, $48.97 to fill the tank. Somehow used a lot more gas than I was expecting, my gas light usually comes on when I've used 10 gallons not 11. Pretty disappointed but I'll manage.
