2011 fiesta 656 miles to empty 52.07 MPG
8.902 gallons of cheap wallyworld regular @$3.239 per gal, 463.5 miles. Took a day trip from Williamsburg Va to Nags Head NC. I knew it was going to be a good tank when the trip odo read 300 miles and the distance to empty was 301, on a 12 gallon tank. Mpg reading peaked at 56.2 coming home before we stopped for a break and a soda, 55.8 at refill for todays trip.
Got up at 5 AM and got home at 10:45 PM, weather was perfect, high of 75 degrees. When I refilled the distance to empty reading was 656 miles. That's with the automated manual transmission. The first 200 miles was short haul local, with the rest all highway. Going the speed limit all the way and back, 55 to 65 MPH limits. Traffic was minimal and I even managed to get it up to 55 MPG after the refill in 16 miles to the top of my driveway. 3 hours of headlights driving at night.
Also no CEL for slight evap emissions leak as I had for the first time when the last tank got low, so maybe my my capless filler cleaning and lube did the job.
463.5 miles @ $29.81
