There were a few times when, before I had my bike back, I would drive to the grocery store half a mile away or one of the nearby Mexican restaurants. Thinking that I would get astronomical mileage by driving without accelerating, since it was night and the street was empty, I would just idle the entire way there. It would have been faster to ride my bike and properly secure it once there!
I forget what my mileage was, but I drove the speed limit, or a little higher, as soon as I saw the number.
