I have pretty fresh Re92's so my odo should be within 1-2%.

[Edit]: I didn't see you said you were 'almost' at half a tank. Keep an eye on your gas gauge, if it hits half between 360 and 380 miles you are probably around 67mpg. Just remember you would be 73-76 with Re92's.
I should know more after this weekend, unless our weather forecast is correct. We are suppose to have 40 mph wind gust today and into Sunday. If this happens I'm not going to drive the car. I want a good baseline run without to many variables. If I can run I'm going to make the next stint my 42 mph commute test. This should bring up the mileage another 1 mpg?

I'm starting to get the feel of this car especially the lean burn part. The only complaint I have so far is the seat is a little uncomfortable after a couple hours my right leg starts cramping. So I might change the seat someday.
