So this is what it's like!
Filled up my car an hour ago, after driving to a Chevron a few miles down the highway (they're the lowest Chevron around by about $.20 / gallon).
Since I rarely drive on the highway, on the way back decided to see what mileage is actually possible with half highway mileage and babying the G. Cruised home at around 80 mph, cleared some lights on surface streets and surprise!! 23 mpg for the (fairly short) ride home - which is quite a diff from my usual 15
Still, back to experimenting with torque curves tomorrow

By going 65 vs 80 (21MPG) You can get an additional 120!! Miles out of a single tank...wow
