I recently drove 465 miles (mostly highway) and could have gotten more if i hadn't feared stalling out on the highway. I am using the highest octane available at gas stations (91/93). Anyone else in this range?
When I drove across the states a year ago I averaged 28 to 30 mpg with s loaded svx and with a 5spd. Driving around town I get a mixture of 19 to 21 depending on if I do more city. You seemed to do decently.
