I drove from southern Alabama to Atlanta and back yesterday. I filled up at 398 miles with 11.553 gallons. That is over 34 mpg on a manual trans. Speed limits ranged fro 55-70 on mostly divided highway and interstate with a healthy bit of in city driving. I tried to keep no more than 5 mph over the speed limit and gingerly accelerated when starting from stop. It sucked and I will probably never do it again. I was just curious to see how well I could do. I really wanted 400+, but I was on my low fuel light already with about 20 miles to my next known exit with fuel.
