30 mpg in the Rav4!

I just filled up today and was blown away at the mpg. 30!!

This was not a special tank either. My wife drove around in the hills and collected herbs and I drove around Eau Claire, sitting at lights.

I'm happy, but I'm also nervous that the next one won't be as good.

Time to install the kammback and wheel skirts.

If your average is 26 MPG, I'd say that was a special tank.

By special tank, I mean there was no extra effort taken to exceed the 26mpg average of the many previous tanks. It is very special to me though.
