Just made the drive from Texas to North Carolina. I was in my '98 CSE Stage 4, following behind my buddy with his Chevy S-10 with a trailer. We stopped 8 times for him. I also filled up every leg, even though I definitely didn't need too. He averaged between 12-15 mpg at every stop. I got a low of 31.4 mpg. But most legs were closer to 34 mpg. My best leg, I turned off the ACC, vented the sunroof and was able to manage 38.5 MPG. Amazing. At one point after a fill up, the EDU read 757 miles till empty. Could have filled up once along the trip and made it. Spent about $80 dollars to make the trip and I got to NC with 3/4 a tank. Again...Amazing.
