Talking 50 mpg in an auto ZX2!

It finally happened





383.0 miles * 1.03 (for the oversized tires, slightly worn) = 394.49 miles driven.

394.49 miles/7.754 gallons = 50.88 mpg!

The SG reported 50.7 mpg, so it was off a whopping 0.35%

It has taken me 354 days to accomplish this goal with 3 past fills of 49.xx mpg, so to say I am excited is an understatment
