I haven't had a 50 mpg tank yet, but I've been close. Really close. Today, when I walked inside the trip was reporting 49.7 mpg and I'm pretty sure I can milk this tank over (if I can avoid visiting my folks for the rest of the week -- 2,500' climb -- I'll have it made).
We're about ready to embark on a 1,100 mile job seeking trip (that's the first leg). I'm going to make the tires taught before we leave, reduce weight of luggage as much as possible, and organize and balance what we are hauling. Plus, I've recalculated cruising speed to be closer (and slightly slower) than the posted maximum for the trip. My hope it to achieve an average of 48 mpg over that distance, if I can get it up to 50 mpg there may be a party.
