Well we found a treasure on our first fill up. My wife went to reset the trip computer and found that not only the previous owner but the original owner also NEVER reset the trip or the gallons used. Lifetime mpg of 19.56
I filled the tires to 40# the night before, with warmer daytime weather they were sitting about 44# during the drive. I think I'll keep the tires at 40-42 as a goal, above that the ride starts to suffer.
Also, on the drive down we seemed to settle in to 20.5 mpg at 75mph. Then we set the cruise at 78mph and also got into some pretty heavy head/cross winds probably around 20-30mph, mpg suffered to around 18.
With two kids in the back and minimal traffic, fuel economy is icing on the cake and not the primary goal.
