Thumbs up 24.5 mpg's over 380 miles.

I mentioned in a previous thread I was getting bad fuel mileage(14.9 to be exact). Just got back from a trip to West Virginia. I am pleased to report I got 24.5 mpg's over the trip. I am sure some will say that is not good enough. However I had the car loaded down with a/c on and was running pretty hard. I would leave it in 3rd gear going up most of mountains and back in drive as I reached the top. Never exceeded 3400 or so rpm's in 3rd. Very happy with the way the car drove and handled. Pretty good for how heavy it is and the 14inch tires that need to be replaced soon. Solid as a rock and was happy I had no mechanical issues.
