Tried that for a while but I was starting to feel like it was staring at me while I was driving. Tried to stick it in the trunk but it wouldn't fit so it sat in the rear. Originally posted by gdub520: Originally posted by David Z: [b]Got 26.9MPG going to Ft. Irwin then to Lake Havasu. Not bad considering I driving kinda fast on the I-40 and there was three people and a keg in the car 
i've never put my tour on longer than a 99 mile drive for the most part at any one time but i usually around 280 or so to a full tank running to near empty....i think the mileage sucks but it is a v6 with a hole in the floorboard from my right foot going thru it all the time....the car is so much fun its just hard to stay off the gas
im planning on doing the parking brake repair and see if that frees up the rear wheels and hopefully ups the mileage a bit[/b]

On my usual drive to work, 11.5 miles, I get about 22-24 mpg, in the spring/summer/fall and in the winter I usually get 20-22 mpg. Now when I go a trip w/ the cruise on about 70-75 mph, I get anywhere between 28-30 mpg. The best I ever got was going to WV in the summer of 2001 where I got 30.4 mpg going down and 29.8 mpg coming home

Highway (80 - 85 mph) I get 24 mpg.
City 21 mpg.
My full throttle acceleration runs in the city are offset by loafing along in fifth at 40-55mph.
