Got to love the mountains

I got my best trip mileage ever and one of the best tanks ever as well driving though the tallest mountain passes I've ever travelled with this car. Averaged 6.85 l/100 (34.3mpg) for the trip and averaged 6.67 l/100 (35.2mpg) for 930 km. Scangauge showed a trip average of 5.6 l/100 for a 140km stretch which included a 400 meter climb but it was downhill overall. Still, that's 50.4mpg from a car that is only rated for 26mpg highway. It's an auto so can't do a lot, but slow speed limits and DWL did it I think.
