I like to improve gas milage whenever I have the chance, just to see how well this little car can do it. I usually set the cruise control at about 72 on the interstate and even if the computer starts at around 27mpg (averaged over 150 previous miles) I can increase it to over 30 (averaged over 300 total miles). The actual math turns out to be about 29.3 or so. Now imagine filling up before such a trip. A while back I did a two hour + drive with cruise set to right around 70 and the computer said 36, I calculated 34 at fill up.
