My morning drive was legendary today. So usually twice a week it consists of two distinct segments. A 65 mile run from my girlfriends house to my own house that is 70-80 mph on the interstate. I averaged 39.8 mpg according to the scan gauge today. The second part is a 2.9 mile jaunt from my house to work. Partially downhill with very light traffic just after 8 am. After the 65 miler and about a 5 minute stop the car was warm which makes perfect conditions. Today without thinking about it for the first 7/10s I found myself above 58mpg and I decided to go all out. I crested 100mpg about 200 yards from the parking lot but I needed one more bump which dropped me to 97.9 MPG as I pulled in to the spot. I coasted probabily 80% or more of the drive. That's .03 gallons consumed. I was amazed. This also includes 3 stops with a gate and ID check. The AC was also on for the first 7/10s. Now I just need to do that for the other 10.97 gallons in an average fillup for me and I'd be doing great.
