So...the first test is complete. I managed 36.2 mpg in the Saturn. I filled up at 361.5 miles and had a little less than a quarter tank remaining. Less than what I was anticipating. However, I must note that we had to use the little car on the highway quite a bit over the weekend.
A trip to the Pepsi Center on Thursday.
One run to Hope's Master's Class on Saturday and one run to the car pool pickup for the same on Sunday.
Highway miles seem to kill this experiment. I refuse to drive slowly on the highway or to limit my acceleration and risk getting rearended.
Thus we have agreed to try and limit the highway miles in the Saturn to help us complete the quest to 500 miles on one tank.
