Personal Best with MPG

I'm glad that you said that. I've always had a feeling that certain slow speeds weren't very economical (45 and below). I had nothing to back up the suspicion besides watching the fuel gauge go down. Now if I can only find a 52mph road :)

I usually drive between 55-60 mph in the slow lane. Your post piqued my curiosity re would it be legal to drive 52 on the freeway in Texas. I did a few searches and it seems that unless a minimum is posted then it is up to the LEO what constitutes too slow (drats).

Just did a fill up .... 666 KM and 37.362 litres. Works out to 5.6 L/100 KM or 42.00 US MPG. Not too bad .. the weather has been hot so I expected a slight decrease.

I also changed my Fuelly .. so it makes sense to more people. I will see how that works out for me in the future.
