MPG update

Took the 560 to the match this past weekend. 300 mile round trip to Castaic and back, through LA traffic. No cruise control due to traffic level, average speed about 75, resulted in a hair over 17MPG. I think 19-20MPG is a reasonable expectation for long steady highway drives. Not bad for a 5.6 liter plant.
