The last 3 tanks in the Fiesta have been over 50 MPG. Keeping the total of distance travelled on the tank and predicted distance to empty above 600 total miles (currently 608) means I am above 50 MPG on this tank. Hope I can keep it there until the refill (12 gallon tank). Today's day trip was 54.1 indicated, much of it on the Interstate in heavy congestion at 60-65 average speed. The wife comments about everybody passing me because I am going slower than most of the traffic. Two miles later all of the idiots going 75-80 (80+ is reckless in VA) pile up on slower moving traffic and they all slow down to 30 MPH in a 70 zone. I told her I am not interested in joining the idiot accordion line. Started slowing down when I saw brakes lights a head about half a mile.
55.2 indicated when we got to our exit at Staples Mill RD off I64 in Richmond.

Your Fiesta is a manual right? I looked on your page and I saw "Automated manual" so I am unsure what that means O.o. Also that's pretty impressive with your wife in the car, doesn't she force you to run the A/C? Do you have any mods on the fiesta besides max sidewall?
