Coming home from a 3000 mile trip we left Mountainair, NM on Highway 60 and
did the 40 miles to I-25 the mileage was 68.8 mpg. It was kind of down hill and at
one point the fuel thingy said 80 mpg. I loled.

Long trip with 3 people and STUFF. Left NM on Monday the 8th and got home
Monday the 15th. FIT did the job!

 

thats awesome but how was the mpg going up

 

xxryu139xx, The going up started about 200 miles back, so it was gentle and still above 40 mpg.

 

ah still good. i'm guessing its a 300 mile trip not a 3000 mile trip then.

 

Gravity can be your best friend sometimes. Wouldn't it be nice if we could drive downhill (and with the wind) all the time. What was your average mpg for the entire 3000 mile (or 300 mile) trip?

 

Average for 3000 miles was just under 43 mpg. Three people and stuff. 65 to 70 mph
most of the time. Wind, head wind will kill your mileage.

The tach ran up to 5000 rpm on some of the hills, small engine likes those 7 gears.

 

As much fun as it is to watch your mpg jump on the downhills, it's painful watching it plummet on the inclines. You've got to be pretty happy with 43mpg considering all the extra weight and the hills, nice going.
