I would say with 4.10 gears you drove 55 all the way and no hills and no wind and no load, and going down hill!!!

Talyn, how much fuel did you use? cuz if you drove 480 miles, you would have only used about 22 gallons of fuel in order to get 22mpg.

Yea, 22 gallons.
I drove west, so thats into the wind.
and its hilly the whole way, not mountainous though.
55-65 the whole way. I had a few times where I ran 70. Mostly 65 though. Lots of towns to go though where its 45 to 55.
I got 16-17 mpg going from neals to south of nashville, got mountains to go though there, I cruised 70-75 the whole way that day.
Fuel down here just way better. I only get 16-17 going 60 up in michigan.

If I remember correctly you were estimating how many gallons you used. You need to check it from full tank to full tank.
Hopefully you filled up after you left and got an accurate count on the gallons used.
If you really got that congrats. But given you only got 16-17 later I would say that is a good average of 19, that is more like what it should be.

I estimated over the full tank from my average of 15 I had been getting till I filled up.
I was an hour outa VB, which is about 60 miles, and that is 4 gallons.
for 22.

60 miles, 4 gallons, 22mpg.... either my math is bad or im missing something. at 22mpg, you should have only used 3 gallons in 66 miles. If you went 60 miles and used 4 gallons, thats 15mpg.
