39.56 MPG Aveo!
So I know I'm still not up to the Gold Standard here for a subcompact car, BUT, this was my first tank I was really proud of.
I drove 388.1 miles from central OH to Detroit MI, plus the days it was too cold/windy/I was too lazy to ride my bike into school for the last few weeks. I made 39.56 mpg.
I was fortunate driving North, as we had a strong (and very rare) southern tailwind to carry me along. Just over 2/3 [ESTIMATE] of the tank was freeway driving. I never went over 55 (except a few times when I caught myself doing 60).
I've started to utilize the engine off coast, which I LOVE! My previous tanks had a lot of coasting in neutral with the engine still burning. While I'm still a bit new at this tactic, I'm not quite comfortable with Pulse and Glide on the freeway, but we'll see.
As a side note, people just south of Detroit drive like a crazy when you go 55 in a 70. I was cutoff 3 times and almost ran off the road at one lane deletion. Other than that, I'm pretty pleased with myself
