I find that when I am going highway at 80+ MPH, I avg about 28-30 MPG with the 2.0

Now hes the interesting part, in moderate stop and go traffic at around 40-55 I get 34+ MPG!

Sounds like my 78 Bronco with the 33 gallon tank that would max out at about 350 miles.

You know it. When you're driving a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick the mileage sure does drop as the speed goes up. Too hard to get all that air out of the way.

I like to watch the instant MPG gauge as I coast downhill the with the wind at my back, and it shows me getting 99 MPG!

Is that offer available at all Publix stores in Florida or just in Collier?
