Shock & Awe ... 61 MPG!

I seriously could not believe it at first. Driven 312 miles since my last fill up. The pump shut off at @4.5 gallons. No, wait, that can't be right. So I let it settle for a minute and did a complete top off. Usually I set it to shut off at the first low lock tab on the fuel handle. This time I squeezed in as much I could for a final fill of 5.1 gallons.

This in my '86 Ford Tempo 2.0L Diesel 5 speed.

312 miles divided by 5.1 gallons = 61.18 MPG!

$3.499 a gallon x 5.1 gallons = $17.86 + $1.25 tax = $19.11 total for 312 miles

6 Months until my mortgage is payed off. Hoping sooner. Saving every $ possible to make this happen quick. It's obviously effected my driving habits in a positive way.
