Today I did the trip to the crane yard, 13.3 miles, using .22 gallons, that is 60.45 mpg.

I had to do it twice today, and of course the trip back up the mountain is a reality check, still, the total today was 53.7 miles on 1.13 gallons of fuel, or 47.52 MPG. These are calibrated ScanGauge #'s, of course the fillup will tell the real story, but the last few fillups it has been right on.

I'm on a roll! I did my 13.3 miles today exactly at 70 mpg. That'd be .19 gallons of fuel, even better, the return trip up the mountain broke 50 mpg. That's the first time I've done the round trip and been able to hit 50.
