Arrow Drove from MI to FL and got 30 MPG!

Well, 29.85MPG on one of my fillups to be exact. My average was 29.75MPGs and that was with my wife, three medium luggage cases, 9 quarts of oil, a tool kit, and some detailing equipment. Despite the many problems I've been having with this car, the drive was nice and the MPG's were excellent. It was a little scary in some parts of Kentucky, like where 4 people blew a tire on the very pothole I barely missed (I wish we had a spare). That's one thing I don't know what I'd do if I were to blow a tire on a Sunday driving through the mountains, which I must do on my way back in a week.

Fill up your car, set the trip odometer back to 0. Then the next time you get gas, devide the miles you've driven by the amount of gallons it takes to fill up. Answer = MPG.
