[T3] Wacky Mileage

[Doug Brashear <dougbrashear@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I normally get about 20-21 MPG (combination of
stop-and-go and highway driving) in my Fastback. Well,
a few days ago I drove the Fastback on a 4-hour round
trip to Delaware and back. When the trip odometer hit
200 miles, I expected the tank would need
filling...but I still had a good amount of gas left. 
After filling up and doing the calculations, it showed
that I got 29-30 MPG on this all-highway trip (with
consistent speeds in the 65-72 MPH range).

Is this normal?

Thanks,
- Doug
