A new best tank for the Toyota Matrix: 48 MPG
We took the Matrix up north this weekend to help my brother in law move into his new place. Since I hardly ever get to run an entire tank though the Matrix (its really the wife's car), now was my chance. Unfortunately, we were a bit rushed to get there and back, so we took the interstate instead of county roads which keep us at a lower speed. The wife also drove it for half the day on Monday before filling up. The result was 403.4 miles on 8.47 gallons which comes out to 47.6 mpg. If I would have been able to hit the county roads I know 50 would have been mine! I guess I have to wait until next time.
