Made a 267 mile trip down to Indiana this last weekend.

Since I brought the car up to MI I have had it sitting for a while as I did a PS and AC delete so I finally decided to see what she could do.

I did not use any hypermiling while on the highway, just set the cruise at 65mph. While in town I just used some DWL and DWB.

I was pleasently surprised when I filled up on my way back and got 42.1mpg. Granted my Ultra-gauge has not been calibrated and I didn't fill to the lip of the fuel tube(just went till it clicked). The UG also read 42.1 which I found odd because the one on my PT Cruiser always reads 2-4mpg high.

My 50mpg goal is not far off, and I still have smooth wheel covers and killswitch to install!!!
