I can see the picture. Looks good. You're at 234 miles on that trip and have that much gas left? What's your usual MPG? I did mine tonight and was at 24.089 MPG. I'm almost ALWAYS between 22.8 and 23.9. For those of you who don't know how to figure it out... divide the # of miles since your last fill up by the number of gallons you put into your car.

tonight was about 195 miles for 7.7 gallons (didn't have to fill up but had to waste time before meeting friends). I can usually go somewhere around 260 miles before I fill up (usually 11 gallons or so).

I think I forgot to reset the tripometer. I usually reset it everytime I fill up.

sheesh.. you guys get bad miliage out of your cars.. I do a LOT of highway driving.. most of it actually.. at 75 mph I generally get about 32 mpg. I can usually do 425 miles in a tank... I have done more. When I first got the car I drove from NJ to Hatteras NC on a single tank.. all 525 miles.. but we only averaged about 50mph the entire trip.

that's a little hard to believe..... are you running 93 Octane? I run mine hard and do a lot of highway miles, but they're usually 80-90MPH. The best I've gotten is when I followed another car on a highway trip, doing the speed limit and I think I got 32MPG that trip. You're talking about the Tibby... right?

I ususally get around 30 or 31 MPG in my Tiburon. In my Sephia I tend to get about 34.
