I already started a fuel log
We went on a long day trip on Tuesday.

I logged just over 40mpg.
30% NY Thruway 65-70mph
60% 2 lane 55-65mph
10% city stop and go.
I am amazed at the results I am getting by just driving conservatively.

This trip allowed me to tune into the transmission and it is pretty impressive. Snappy shifts, very predictable. Once it is warmed up the lock up will engage reliably at 45 mph and I can hold it pretty well even up moderate hills.
