I just took a trip across country. Mpg on the way was 30.5 but keep in mind a lot of that was cruise control set at 70. I was taking it easy since when i started my trip the car only had 1500 miles on it. Coming back i was getting about 28 - 29 mpg. There was more spirited driving....much of it in the 80 - 85 mph range. Once i got back in texas headed south on hwy 59 i drove several extended periods at 90 - 100 mph. The car handles like a puerto rican hooker. I was only getting about 26 mpg at that high speed. My oil temp never exceed 258f at any time. Of course driving at normal speed (70 mph) the oil temp would run about 250f. Up north the car ran cooler but high temps in pennsylvania were only in the low 80s. Im glad to be back in texas. Now i need to wash all the dead bugs off of the front of the car.
