I drove 1200+ closer to 1300 mile's to get my average. 99.99% of the miles were Highway. I just read what was said about fuel economy here on the forum. I rolled into the throttle very gently up to speed (max 65 mph ) didnt use any AC, set my cruse control at 65mph. Rolled with all 5 windows open, cranked the tunes and used the moto "drive slow so all the chicks had longer to look"
and after the math my average was 16.8 mpg no BS. Got all my fuel at flying J used my fequent fuel card. I was very suprized. Several sections of the highway were under construction and at speeds of 50 and below. I made sure to follow the speed limit. I wont lie and say their wasnt times when I wasnt sweating a little ..heh. I just took off my shirt and coverd the seat with it and chugged along at speed.. I think 65 mph max and slowly rolling up to speed then setting my cruse were key..the trip was on I-40 basically, not many hills to speak of. I didnt have any time frame to get home since I work for myself. So no rush was probably my secret.
