27 mpg? looks like you are being too gentle with the pedal on the right ;)

I've been able to get there on easy drives. It's nice too, because you can get an easy 400 miles out of a tank that way. I made it all the way from Arizona to Salt Lake on one tank, lol. On a normal tank with city driving I'm filling up by the 250 mile mark.

That's the kind of mileage I get with my wife in the car. She has a meltdown if the shadow of my foot touches the gas pedal!

Regular or premium?

Kidding. Pulling that kind of mileage on that long if a trip is a good thing. You did nothing wrong. Time & place.

i guess I’m lucky. We usually are out for a pretty day drive around two hours and I’ll maybe do a hard dig once or twice. All she asks is that I give her some warning. Last weekend she looked over at me casually and asked “is that what y’all call a fishtail?”.

I cant get mine past 19 mpg. lol but of course I've never reset anything since having my car.

You gotta change the station, put on Ozzy's Boneyard or Liquid Metal to get those MPG's down.

91 sometimes at 4.99 a gallon.

133 miles left on a quarter of a tank of gas shows you have been driving it pretty easy. You aren't doing anything wrong with it. I on the other hand am doing a lot of things wrong. A quarter of a tank is usually less than 50 miles till empty for me.

mine is a manual and even with gentle cruising on highway around 65-70, I never got more than 23/24 mpg.

Who hypermiles a V8?

That all came from just running at about 72 mph for 6 hours, the first trip was 26.7 mpg, the 2nd was 27.6. All trips involve passing a good amount of other traffic.

That’s what I get if I’m just driving on the interstate back and forth to work. Throw in some city driving and I stay mid-25 to 26.
