I’m on a miles per gallon kick. We just took a long highway only trip to Chicago in the focus ST. The EPA rating has it at 32 miles per gallon for highway driving. We filled up twice, once where the average speed was 75+ (i was still getting passed!) and on the way back we kept the car just above 70. No difference in mileage — 28.3 either way. Thats just a bit more than Sarah is getting on her daily commute. It will be interesting to see if we get closer to the EPA ‘perfect world’ numbers once spring and summer rolls around. The ambient temps were in the ‘30s.
I have to obsess on Sarah’s car because my Taurus SE is averaging around 20. Bah Humbug.
