I just squeezed out 35.8mpg this weekend-- most of my last tank was driving to the suburbs of Toronto and back on Friday (296 miles round-trip-- it was for a seminar for work). This included spending an hour in stop'n'go rush hour traffic on the way home, too. Not too shabby.

Now that the threat of snow is minimal, I need to reapply the coroplast under my front bumper. I think I'm going to switch from christmas trees to hollow wall anchors as fasteners.

In other news, I should have a Rostra cruise control system arriving tomorrow. Hopefully, the weather will turn a little nicer by the weekend, so I can get it in. I find that long drives (over an hour at a stretch) are tough-- I just don't have the stamina to be steady enough to get really great mpg. I regularly managed in the high 30s last summer-- setting cruise to 65 on the I-90 could probably get me 40+.
