I got 29.2 mpg on a 90 mile freeway drive from LA to Willow Springs Racetrack last weekend while averaging about 75mph in virtually no traffic (it was 5:30am!). Filled up before I got on the road and filled up again when I got off the freeway and did the miles divided by gallons calculation manually.
