Mixed city/Highway 16.7 mpg average
level highway, 55-60 mph- 19.0 mpg average
level highway, 65-70 mph- 17.7 mpg average
level highway, 75+ mph- 15.7 mpg average
With my truck the faster I drive the worse MPG it gets. After cruching numbers I drive at 55-60 now. Very slow at accelerating, coast whenever I can.

I noticed the dagnab Ohio state patrol out pulling folks over left and right, so most people were driving the 65 mph limit. I also noticed the pos Hyundai I rented in Detroit got about 32 mpg on the way down to Richmond, IN, but it suddenly popped up to 36 mpg right after I filled up down there, so they must not have much, if any, ethanol in their gasoline.
