Well, my daughter made her way back to Illinois from Virginia yesterday via the northern route through Penn and Ohio.
Once home she called as all good travelers should do and reported that she averaged 36 mpg's with her '06 Fusion 2.3L. She compared the on board computer to her hand calculations and they were consistent with each other.
The funny thing is, the best MPG's I ever achieved from my '02 Focus was 35.
I wonder what a set of taller alloy rims with 20 series tires of the stock width would do on that. A lighter tire/wheel combo will in theory result in a whole lot of fuel savings.
