196342 Gallons of gasoline
That's how much fuel I pumped into the pearlie SVX between August 16, 2005 and August 15, 2006, over the course of driving 2031.2 miles, for an average of 6.43 MPG.
The best mileage I recorded was 11.65 MPG over a 66.8 mile run. Second best was 11.22 over 114.9 miles. Obviously, these were open Interstate runs with a top-off at each end. The worst was 3.11 MPG. That was one of two sub-4 instances; best I can figure is that I spent an inordinate amount of time driving to work and back.
On June 6 and June 19 of this year I drove the same 206.8 mile route and recorded 6.81 and 7.03 MPG respectively. That's consistency.
I buy the cheapest gas around; usually Esso, occasionally Shell. At $4.98/gallon it's a great deal!
For what it's worth...

*Numbers may be fudged to reflect my horrible, horrible gas mileage which hovers between 11-15 mpg. Nothing like going 140 miles on $60 worth of gas.
