My first tank 653 miles

Re: My first tank 653 miles
Thanks Wayne,
I'll try to drive @60 mph for 300 miles or so
and see what the mileage is,
o by the way I dont look at any of the mileage indicators or average readouts,
while I drive I just do the math at the fillups.

Jerry, I wasn't going near 70. I don't think I have went up to that speed in my car yet and if I did it was once or twice. I sometime pulse up to 65, depending on whether or not traffic will pass me or not, otherwise I would only go up to 55, sometimes 60. I didn't try to go any faster mainly because it was cold and I was having a hard time maintaining even 60 mpg without continuously losing speed. I even thought I could feel the lean burn kicking in and out (unless that was something I need to have checked under warranty). I had a bad FE day, a lot of hills, bad traffic (bad drivers - pulling in front of me and turning, etc.) so I only manage low 50s, very disappointed. At least there isn't too many miles yet so I can pull it back up. I need to move to a more rural area
I will try some higher speed driving once the temp stays higher. I think tomorrow should be good if I can get the free time and will report back
