Default My MPG

I wen't on a road trip to Solvan, Ca. on Friday after work. I filled up at a gas station near my house and reset the tripmeter to zero and started driving. On the way, I thought I'd try to find out what my A4's mpg is. My driving style for that night was very conservative, no sudden stops and no sudden accelarations while stuck in traffic in the LA area. Once I passed the congested part of LA, I had the cruise control set to 70mph and after 92 miles of driving, I was amazed at what my mileage was. The display showed 92.7 miles on the trip, used less than a quarter of a tank and still had 440 miles to go on the remaining gas in the tank.

It sure was boring as hell cruising at 70 though, during the whole test I wanted to open up but took a deep breath and held back... At least now I know my car can do 33+ mpg if I want it to
