And a 56mpg 230 mile trip So I just filled up and got my first 50 mpg tank, I was real excited. I had been really close for months. It was like 49 every time. And then right after that the next day me and 2 of my friends and our bikes went on a 500 mile trip and got 56 mpg there and 48.5 back (head wind) we were going pretty fast. Like 65-70 avg. I've come a long way with my car. 6 months ago I was averaging like 38 mpg so I gotta say, I'm pretty happy and love hyper miling. I just wish there were some more gas milage nerds in Austin to chat with. Oh and my car is about to hit 267,000 miles hahaha
