VA to TX & Back = 32mpg

commuting to Maxxxus last weekend, mpg varied from a low of 26.7mpg to a high of 32.1mpg...this from an autotragic with the AC pumping continuously (cruise control most of the time, around 75-80mph); and did i mention it already had 207k miles on it before the 3000-mile roundtrip? original engine, original tranny...

i say again: u can have my Max when u pry it from my cold dead hands.

Great fuel economy, particularly given the mileage on the vehicle. Quick question, do you ever sleep or just drive 24 hours a day? That's insane mileage for a 99.

I notice that you don't capitalize. What field of medicine are you in--you're a doctor, right?

What was your overall mpg? If the 26.7 and 32.1 were equally weighted, it'd be 29.4?

read my status title for occupation....capitalization ain't a big requirement in my field.

well, i accidentally tossed the figures in the trash after the journey....but my best guess would lean more towards the high end; on the trip back i didn't run the AC as much as going down to TX, so i'd guess pretty close to 30mpg for the trip.
