True.

My 91 Volvo averaged 32mpg @ 86 mph across I-10 in Texas. 2 occupants, 800lbs of gear on a self-tuned (no dyno) Megasquirted B6304 6cyl with an auto trans.

I get around 21-22mpg in my altima 3.5se.

Which is the same as my old ford taurus. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

But I guess thats still a good thing because I have double the horsepower and like 70lbs more torque.

Wow

That's it? I have managed 18.7 on the highway, 3 mpg less, in an 09 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 with the 5.7.

add acetone to your gas, around 4 oz per 10 gallons of gas. Research, it can make a huge difference.

Found this

Acetone is known to deteriorate cheap plastics and other substances. While the components in a car's fuel system should be of high quality, and thus immune to any deleterious effects from exposure to acetone, be aware that "ideal" is not always the case in practice. Be advised that not all systems have been tested against acetone. Until such thorough testing has been accomplished and certified by an accredited authority, you assume your own liability for experimentally testing acetone in your particular system.

Vietnam officially bans acetone as additive in gasoline - Acetone is a solvent that can be used as an additive for boosting octane levels in gasoline. However, a high amount of acetone in gasoline can affect the rubber seals of vehicle engines, and is being blamed for the large-scale breakdown of motorcycles in Ho Chi Minh.

No no no. Thats the overall average. Trip mileage divided by how much gas I put in. I can get 27-28mpg on the highway if I go 55-65mph.

I used to worry about gas mileage back when I didn't have a job and had to make my $20 allowance last me for two weeks when gas was $4 a gallon.

Nowadays, I don't really give two shits. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
