Thanks guys, typos! lol I was changing it and must have not looked at it before submitting. Also I was checking the price I paid for gas the last fill up it was $4.219 so I corrected that also. Thanks but darnit, I guess I may have been dreaming of our near future. Picking up that 95 Civic CX next week if the lien papers are done and it has a clean title. I don't buy salvaged cars, so hopefully I can get some better mileage out of the corolla tomorrow. I will be taking a 330+ mile trip this weekend and hopefully burn a whole tank 95% on the freeway. This last tank was not bad considering most of my driving was city driving. I stopped filling on the first click so maybe I have 2 gallons of air space in the tank or that last 2 gallons just sits low because when I was taking right turns it did start to bog down from no gas.

My computer also caught a Trojan virus dubbed " black hole" and it sucked up my whole windows desktop and menus/files so I can't upload photos of the new tank I filled but here it is.
Today's fill up:
$44.68
10.84 Gallons
@ $4.119 a gallon.
Odometer is at 155,145.3 miles.

UPDATE EDIT Here is the photo, I got a new computer!

Here some pictures from my trip on the way up cruising about 80 avg speed. I did draft a big truck for 80 miles of the trip at 65mph this was a jump when I could not resist speeding

Here is the tank 2 days later and I still have a little more to drain. I still have about 20-40 miles left I think! We'll find out tomorrow.
looks promising but I may be getting 30+mpg.

Right after I filled gas today! Needle was still moving up to F.
Today's refill was way cheaper at $3.99


So I got 34.29mpg driving strictly on the freeway most of the time!
Not a bad start, considering my engine speed was around 2500-3000 rpm the whole time at 70-85mph.time to install the MPGuino and remove more parts for some aero mods.
