Aimed for 700+ mile tank but short trips near end killed it. Seems like I am getting better mileage on routine trips - averaging another mile a gallon on East Hampton-Bronxville run. 80% hwy; 20% suburban/city

Didn't do all of the driving on this trip and paid a penalty for letting my partner drive. But I had a nice tail wind on today's 110 mile trip home - averaged 61.4 mpg on it. Almost made up for his less economic driving style! 80% highway, 20% suburban

About half of the travel was local short distance. Included a couple of trips into Manhattan so urban driving too. But it did include a round trip to Hamptons which salvaged some of the mileage. Hated this being my worst fill to date but considering the short trips and slow traffic, didn't do as bad as I thought.

Some slow congested traffic and more suburban/urban driving - 75% highway, 25% suburban. Refilled at same hungry gas station - still the best price on LI and top it off nicely.

Great price on diesel in Hamptons AND full service! But the pump operator really packed in as many drops as he could! 80% highway, 20% suburban

Second fill up. Dealer re-set trip odomenter at 1,000 mile check-up but thankfully had record of first fill up with mileage written on receipt. 90% highway, 10% suburban - rode in HOV lane (Friday to Hamptons but with guests) so drove faster than I usually do for 75 miles.
