It was a dark and stormy night...And I got a 40+ mpg tank!

It was pouring rain and thundering, just after I posted on 14'ecocruze's thread about how I couldn't break 40 mpg in the rain, I did just that, TWICE. My trip mpg came out to be 41.1 with a PESSIMISTIC scangauge. Tank mpg.......

*cue drumroll*




40.7 MPG!

Yeah baby! I broke my 40 mpg tank goal! When I first made that goal, boy did it seem far away, but I'm here! All without engine off coasting! My highway commute is very conducive to EOC benefits, so I can imagine EOC'ing will bump me above that 50 mpg trip goal as well.

The fillup details:
508.2 miles, all without the fuel light turning on!
12.502 gallons
40.65 mpg!


The pathetic thing about this is that I can now say I have gotten better gas mileage in my car than in my 250cc motorcycle...
