More good news and mediocre news:

The good news is is the average mpg is still climbing, but slowly, and I made 16th on the "top gasoline cars" list.

The mediocre news is the mileage dropped again - after 2 consecutive tanks at 61+, this one was below 61. - - - 60.95. But I don't feel too bad, because I filled up in Sacramento while down there, then came back home and finished off the tank, to re-fill in Carson City - 4000 ft. higher elevation that it started at. So - 60.95 mpg in a tank that CLIMBED 4000 ft isn't too bad IMO.
