work and back once = 84 miles..
to work, to north jersey to check out a car and back = 222 miles
306 miles..
filled up... he topped it off a good $ worth..
and it took 11.778 gallons
that = 25.98 MPG
its a shame it was a wasted trip though.. the car wasn't exactly what I was expecting 
*edit - oh yeah, average highway MPH = 75
# of WOT runs.. almost every stop sign and every onramp..

My neighbor has an 03 gt he bought just for road trips, averages 26-27 mpg every time. I'm trying to talk him into letting me drive the car on a daily basis to make sure it's running right....

Used to pump gas for a living here in PA. Made 5.75 + like 10 bucks in tips every night. So many old people and cars full of hot chicks who hate "yucky gas". That job sucked and kicked ass at the same time.

why is it a record? most of my trips don't include 200 miles worth of highway-exclusive travel.. I'm sure I coulda gotten another 1-3 MPG outta the thing if it had been all highway
