14.5 MPG's!!!
Just completed the break in trip for the '07 after putting 93K on my '03. Took a road trip to Crested Butte and used the miles to do some testing on the gas mileage. Surprisingly, we actually found the sweet spot in the winding roads betwees Santa Fe and Gunnison. During that stretch we averaged 65 MPH's and was consistently under 2K rpm's. Our mileage was 14.5 mpgs. Thought we had written something down incorrectly but reconfirmed it on the return trip.
Now that we have found the sweet spot I will have to retrain my foot if I want better mileage.
I can hardly wait to tell some of these people that I got 14 mpgs and watch them stammer. Of course I wont be able to keep up the average but we did seem to do a little better than my '03.
