2003 Buick Century 723 miles on 22.54 gals. = 32.08 mpg.

Things have been pretty hectic around here recently, as most of you know, so we decided that we needed to get out. We went to the Cumberland Mountains of East Tennessee. It was a soul cleansing trip, and we really needed it.

Before we left I convinced my wife to let me "play" with her car. I raised the tires to 44psi, and duct taped her upper grill. I only wanted to hit 30 mpg, so I was glad to smash the goal. She made me take the tape off when we got back home, but I don't normally drive this car much, anyway.

All told, it was a great FE performance from a fully loaded Buick!!!!
