Just an fyi
I just drove 90 miles from newport coast to pacific beach, 80 of the miles were highway.

This why I got the 6. Drop nitrous in it and you have a faster, cheaper and more fuel efficent car. Also, I save a TON on insurance!

Yes I'm right there with you.

Except for the blower whine and my numbers being much lower

Nice Job, Yes many of our V6's can achieve those kind of numbers.

Here is my last few test runs of MPG's on the way into work. Cruise was set each time. All numbers set to zero on the DIC at the start of the test.

32mpg is pretty consistent on roadtrips for me , my last long trip about 400 miles to the Dallas area and back I averaged 32 with some serious slow downs because of severe weather and accidents. Still made it home with 32 average ... I suspect it would of been a notch higher without the storms . I do have a 2LS , so its to be expected .

I average as of now 15.9 MPG and that is with stop and go Traffic. I go to Davie from Miami and that is one of the few times that it raises my MPG. while I cruise around 70 mph in 6th Gear.
