I just got back.Did about 680 miles round trip and paid 61.00 in gas at a cost of 4.63 a gallon.
Rented from avis who told me all the rental places are selling them back to dealers who can make big bucks off them.
I didnt use cruise control.There are extremely long climbs of up to 10miles.
The altitude was avg 3000ft-10000ft.I went from freeways 405-14-395.I went as far as mammoth mtn.I think the gas gage was off as sometimes i could get as much as 77miles on one bar and as few as 20miles???I guess my avg was high 40s.I never went above 60 and averaged 45-55.On downhills i would cruise in neutral.I thought i would get a little higher mileage to be honest but still very excellent mpg.Cant beleive people driving suv's at 70mph.Are these people billionaires?
