I used to commute from Tysons Corner to downtown Arlington (DC area) when I worked at a Benz dealership in the early 1980s. I drove to work on route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) which was 35 MPH with perfectly timed lights, and managed to average 45 MPG in my 1984 CRX 1.5. It was fun watching the crawling traffic on the Interstate while I cruised along at 35 MPH in 5th gear.
