#375 of 378 Trip Boston to/from NJ by pi_man Aug 31, 2009 (6:36 am)

#376 of 378 Precise Data From Really Long Road Trip by whobodym Sep 07, 2009 (8:00 pm)
I'm a Puget Sound road trip nut with in-laws in Finger Lakes, sister in Boston, and oldest daughter newly ensconced in college in Maine, and our 2006 MZ5 man trans is just back from a trip that included all of that. Total miles driven = 8804. Total gallons = 345.7. That makes 25.5 mpg total overall. This was not gentle driving - Packasport cargo box on the roof plus 3 bicycles on Thule hitch mount rack on the back. Tent camping gear for 4 plus all the college stuff eastbound. Speeds as fast as the flow of traffic, usually 70-80+ mph. But only 2 people on board except for the middle 1800 mile part (the girls of the family flew back east and only did Buffalo-Boston-Maine-Buffalo).
#377 of 378 latest trip milage by dean1966 Nov 09, 2009 (6:54 am)
Just got back from a trip from Milwaukee to marshfield wi and back with my 06 manual shift 5.  Including driving around while there had 516 miles on the tank when I returned and put in 15.37 gal for 33.57 mpg. ( 90% hwy miles)   The only " tricks " I used to get this milage was to set the tires near max pressure, and use the cruise set at 68 mph max. From past experience, I have found that milage drops off fairly fast as you pass 70 mph.
