Default Best gas mileage ever!

On my way back from Vegas today, I averaged 31.75 mpg on Arco's 91 octane gas at average speed of 80 mph.
I have been averaging 22mpg so I am quite amazed.

Hmm, Mok, never take a single reading as a true indication. You need to average over several tankfuls to really be certain.

On the highway the S2000 is a great car because it doesn't do to bad on gas. I think the average is 28-33 MPG.

I've also gotten 30+ mpg on long freeway trips. But I average about 24-25 mpg for both city and highway. Not too bad at all! I'm hoping to get the new Toyota Prius soon. That baby will be for long freeway trips, mostly out of state.
