Best tank to date (32.9 mpg - 2007 GMC Canyon)

I scored 32.9 mpg today on a long highway trip, just shy of 300 miles round trip. Lots of DWL used this time. I'm guilty of at least 3 carbon clean-outs in excess of 4k rpm for merging. It was fun, but I think it cost me the 33mpg mark.

First 30+ tank.

That engine likes DWL. I normally DWL with an eye on the MAP, and EOC when MAP is down to 7 PSI and speed hits 5 MPH over the limit.
