His vitals say United States so it would be gas. I'd like to see proof of his claimed 62 mpg. From what I've seen in nearly 8 years on here, he would have to be driving down a mountain, with a tail wind, drafting a semi. Breaking 50 mpg is a challenge for us mere mortals.

You also have an A/T my friend. For you the challenge just got 2 mpg harder.

thanks for the info. love that you have been around a lot. Yes i have a auto 5d with 40k miles on it currently. I have not tested anything as of yet but will be starting soon.
basically you are saying that 60mpg is not reality which, given your experience would have to be right.
So I am lucky to get over 50 or have you seen 55 on an auto?

I've never broken 50 for a full tank. My best for a tank = around 49, and that was mostly down a mountain (Winnemucca, NV to Mill Valley, CA).
