Default Finally! My first 75MPG tank!

Well, I finally reached one of my milestones. 75 MPG for a full tank. Not too bad considering I give up about 8 MPG by using the Sumitomos, i have 2 extra antennas on the roof, and I have to take traffic detours now and then on my way to work. And who knows the hit from the 10% ethanol crap we have to use now.

This tank had at least one detour, a few nasty rainy days, and some moderately cold days thrown in too.

LUV MY INSIGHT!

cainsight: thats great with a CVT!

ikhoudvanu199: is that a CVT or 5-speed?

so far my best 1-way commute has been 86.6, and best round trip was 80.?. its about a 55 mile round trip, usually light traffic.

keep up the good work folks!
