Here is Sophia next to red rocks in Jemez, NM today. Doesn't she look good next to red? :-D

I used cruise control for part of the long drive and only did 65 despite a higher speed limit and cars racing past me doing 90. I'm driving like a little old lady! What has happened?! I have noticed that Sophia's sweet spot is going 42 mph in 5th gear. Now, for all rugs to have the right speed limit and no traffic lights. I am becoming really irked when I have to hit the breaks now!

Anyway, by the end of today's trip the average mpgs sensor said 49.4! I took a photo of it and it's on Twitter too. LOL

My awesome Fiat does have an instantaneous mpg sensor but that drives me batty.

I didn't think about the fact the car might have had more gas in it than to where I filled it.
