My 2001 LPT 5 spd got great mpg and regularly delivered 500+ miles to a tank on my runs from Sacramento to Portland. I kept wondering if I could do the entire distance - almost 600 miles - on one tank. So on one of my trips I pumped the Michelins up to 38psi, slowed down a bit (60-65mph) and avoided my usual passing maneuvers. I easily made it all the way on one tank - 575 miles, took 16.6 gal, for a 34.6mpg trip average. Included some mountainous terrain too. Very pleased.
