I think I broke a record these last 2 days. Drove from WI to MN, about 265 miles each way for a total of 520miles. Specs:

- 90% highway 10% city
- 93 octane (Shell)
- Stock Air box and k&N
- Outside temperature, average 55 F
- Tires set to 35 psi before starting journey
- Average Speed - kept ot 72-78 (according to computer 68mph), a few spots of overtaking in 5th gear
- was not drafting a semi (stay away from those because of rock chips)
Computer says I got 25.4 mpg. I really got 24.8 mpg average on the whole trip, using the fill up method.

Reached 435 miles before light came on.

I really think stock air box (converted back 2 weeks ago) and 93 octane makes a huge difference. I was so excited, cause I don't have any long trips coming up so I will be back to low 20's in 60/40 driving.

HMMM... I was looking for one of these threads. I havent topped off Ive just been putting like 47 bucks (1/2 tanks) and Im getting like 200-215 miles on that ahlf tank. Im gonna fill it up this weekend and see how long it lasts me. I thought mine wasted gas but seeing all your stories just made me sigh, Well mine is an 03 auto completely stock all city driving. I dont do hwys cuz theyre jam packed anyway here in L.A

Also, does having the VDC off help you save gas or should I just keep it on?
