Trust me when i say i wanted to as well but the rain that came down this afternoon was no joke..i cudnt even see driving so i just filled up quick and took my a$$ home lol...very impressed with the results ...Didnt think this car would ever reach this high! Im sure if i would have did my oil change before this drive it probably would have been even better. Tomorrow im going to do an oil change and this friday taking a trip to atlantic city to hit the casinos which is a 144 miles one way. so lets see what i can hit. going to run the next tank all the way to E until i feel it cant go anymore. Shooting for 40mpg. Prius meet the FRS-viconti tuned lol

Greetings fellow Murse!

What kind of floor do you typically work on? I'm a new grad working in MICU at Hopkins.

I work on a Orthopedic and Bariatric Surgery. MICU must be exciting as a new grad but can take alot out of you when you develope those long term relationships with your patients. It rough for me sometimes when i get a patient that takes a turn for the worse and ends up being xfered to SICU.

I worked 1 year in a Progressive Care Unit (Cardiac/Telemetry and Pulmonary- ICU stepdown) and it does take a bit out of me when they were "walkie talkie" in the PCU, then intubated and sedated in the MICU. It comes with the territory, but I'm enjoying it.

Yea its rare when one of my patients are "walkie talkie" too. Most of patients are usually slip and falls with broken hips or motor vehicle accidents so most of them need to be taught how to walk again or at least assisted while they walk. Thats good that you enjoy it tho, everyday is different day and u meet different ppl so its never really boring.

Ok i think this is my last test for mpg im going to start enjoying my car now lol...Maybe my next test will be e85 when i have the money to pay for it. But i took a trip to atlantic city which was about 280 miles round trip. I wont lie i did cheat and use cruise control for a little while. I had some traveling to do when i got back home and i finally drove this car until i felt it couldnt go anymore. I have pics but im staying at my gf house since i had a flood in mine and i left my gopro back at my house . but i was able to get 454miles out of this tank and filled up with 11.487 which gives me 39.52 ...i know cruise control is cheating but who cares lol. I had absolutely no traffic throughout this whole tank, i drove like a real grandma and left cruise control at 60mph the whole time and i did get an oil change before i did the test.
*weird observation* according to the dash my car yielded better constant mpg numbers cruising in 5th gear than 6th gear* Wonder if anybody has tried that or can check it out and see if they notice the constant mpg is higher is 5th than 6th.
