Well I managed to make it out to Belton TX today for a mpg run and a visit to the Bell County Flea Market!

I filled up in Austin (87 octane) and proceeded to Belton along I-35N. I would say driving was about 85% highway and between 65-75 mph there and back. All four tires were at 45 psi.

When I got back to Austin and filled up again, I was excited to see what sort of economy the Tercel was producing since this is the first time I have ever tested it. I plugged the numbers a couple times and ended up with the same conclusion:

50 mpg over 125 miles!

I am absolutely astonished at this result! I do have to say that I have been adding small amounts of MMO to the fuel whenever I fuel up. Helping?

I also snapped some pics of the car along the way as requested. (Beagle not included).
