I'm happy cause I went nearly 330+ miles and I still have just a hair under 1/4 of a tank (which on that gauge means I probably have about 1/8th of a tank). So, thats about 25.4 mpg, with the A/C on. Woot.

Heh.
I don't even wanna talk about gas mileage. I got about 23 mpg, and that's like a record for my car

We were not doing 90. From Davis to ~Fairfield, my cruise control was set at 80mph as indicated on my PSI3 which is reading data directly from the ECU, and therefore, the VSS. My speedo reads 3mph faster (before I got my PSI3 I was always wondering why people were passing me when I was doing 80 in the fast lane - turns out I was only doing 77). Once we got on 680 at Cordelia, I did sprint up to a higher *cough* speed, but slowed to wait for everyone. After that our speed varied from 75-85 depending on traffic. After the bridge I don't think we got over 80 too much due to the cars in front of me.

Besides, I don't think your car can go 90mph Steve.

Man, some of you guys get pretty decent mileage while not having to (five-star word here)-foot it on longer drives.

I got 25.5-26 mpg- and that included a run to the observatory and back.

Second gear, lots of throttle most of the way up and back.
