Yea! 56.3 MPG
I drove 723 miles on one fill up. Unfortunately I must of only had 12.84 gallons in the tank. I ran out of gas 4 miles from my target gas station. The numbers said I should have been able to go 743.16 miles, but my car doesn't know how to multiply.
I've got around 35K on my HCH now.
My commute is two miles of city and 48 miles of highway (each way).
My workplace is 200 feet higher than my home. I drive Interstate 5 down the center of the Willamette Valley Oregon.
I follow trucks. I don't draft them, I follow them. I leave enough room between so if other trucks want to pass there is room enough for them between me and the truck I'm following.
It allows me to drive between 55 and 60 without interfering with the normal flow of traffic. (those who have to pass me would have to pass the truck anyways)
Good Luck to all

Congradulations Ray you're getting the hang of it! I don't draft trucks either and still have a good front-end paint job even after 76,000 miles.
Keep up the excellent driving!
