That is about the same mileage as mine.I also go into manual mode when on the highways for the same reason as you..how about that? Unfortunately,sometimes I forget that it's in manual when I stop and the when I start....it stays in low much too long,until the light goes on in my old brain and I shift it back to normal auto.
#124 of 128 St. Charles County-Little Rock-Memphis by csandste Oct 20, 2008 (10:23 pm)
Another weekend jaunt. Averaged 28 mpg mixed with around town driving in Little Rock and Memphis. Got 40.1 mpg on straight Interstate driving between West Memphis and Cape Girardeau. 70 mpg with air on part of the time. I can't believe that I got the tank completely full but maybe, know that the mpg goes way up on straight highway driving.

Replying to: csandste (Oct 20, 2008 10:23 pm) My mileage is not affected by AC use.Your mixed mileage is very good though. I think consumer reports had mixed driving at 25MPG. I get excellent highway mileage,but I don't drive as fast as you do. Since the jump of gas prices I tend to drive Interstates at 5 mph under the posted limits.Believe me,you get used to it.

Replying to: mickeyrom (Oct 21, 2008 5:29 am) I have gotten used to 60-65 but this was a longer drive (although not the thousand miles a day I used to log).   The 28 mixed was more highway than around town by far. Still I'm happy with the highway mileage.
