Default Let's blow up Europe!!!

Anyways, I just filled up my truck... $72.75... whatever right... well, I went 505 miles since my last complete, fill up... I used 29.24 gallons of gas... which equals out to 17.27mpg.

I probably would have gotten a lot more MPGs, had I not gone for a 35 mile cruise where I watched my DTE on my overhead go from 97 when I started, to 23 when I ended...

Oh, let me add, this is all hand calculated, and, MOSTLY IN TOWN... I went maybe 150 - 180 miles on the highway...

Yay for 6spd, and shifting at 1700rpms...

Boo for 5th gear at 37mph.

Ohh, Eric just brought up a good point on AIM, that 29.24 gallons of gas, was averaged over two fill ups... I put 33 dollars in when I had 3 miles left on my DTE (which I found out, when it hits 0 DTE, you still have 8% of your tank left, go me and reading my owners manual while driving)...

So ya, I didn't put it all in at once..

Wow. That ain't bad.

On Wednesday, I put in $58.70, which equals out to about 19 gallons of gas at $3.09. The tank averaged something like 13-14 mpg, but I only did about 60 miles highway, and another 100 or so towing around town, which REALLY brings the average down. I think I got about 255-270 miles out of that tank.
