I went to Tampa last year, before I ever started pre-mixing and stayed around 70mph and averaged 23 mpg. with one fill up getting 26 mpg.<----had to be that damn contruction zone all the way through south Georgia 55 to 60 mph.

Last year when I went to Deal's Gap I averaged 26.2. Not too bad for my 6 hr drive there. Now once I got there that was different story...I was getting about 9mpg's , HAHA!
