Good replies all across the board. As far as the measure, it was an eyeball measure. Needle at halfway point of tank. I guesstimated the MPG based on the size of the tank and miles driven, not very accurate, just a ballpark figure. Still though, it's good to know that on a long trip I could possibly get around 500 miles to a full tank, give or take. I'm averaging 290 to 310 miles to a full tank on city driving which brings it right around it's advertised average of 18-19 mpg city.

The rpms were just above the 3k mark at that speed and gear and at the half tank mark, 260 miles were logged. drove all the way to San diego, 340 miles altogether and still had just a tad over a quarter of a tank left. The car went over 22k miles on the trip and a few hundred away from its next scheduled service of 22500 miles. That i figured averaged out to about 32 miles per gallon. Not too shabby.
