Cruzing low slow and lean for 177 miles avg 40-45 mph

Today was a rare day, lots of time between appointments so I decided to take all back roads and run low and slow and keep it in lean burn. I ran between 40-45 most of the time the only problem was lots of stop signs, hills and towns. Did have 40 miles of busy roads that I couldn't run so slow. I did however manage to eek out a nice round mileage of 97.2 mpg for the day. Until I hit the Highway I was doing 103.1, too bad I couldn't get a good route around the highway to see if I could keep it over 100mpg.

Can't wait to see what the fillup will show tomorrow.

Fueled up this morning, 765.5 miles @ 86 mpg for the fill. Was able to do some more of the low and slow after 35 miles of higher speeds and the gage shows 90.6 for the last 140 miles, I think I am getting the hang of this car, cant wait I can get some of the mods done and maybe get some better back road mileage and maybe a little easier too.
