91 200 Q Mileage!!!!!!

["Paul C. Waterloo" <74543.407@CompuServe.COM>]

On my trip from Chicago back to CT, I filled my tank with 91 octane in Sandusky,
OH (only $1.29/gallon). I drove on the Ohio turnpike to my friends house north
of Pittsburgh, drove him around for about 25 miles, getting on it every time I
could, then drove up to I-80 and drove to Berwick, PA.

I drove exactly 500 miles on the tank, when I filled it up, it took 17.5
gallons.

Actual mileage -- 28.5 MPG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Computer mileage -- 25.3 MPG

I love this car!

BTW, when getting on the Ohio Turnpike, I saw an older Eclipse with AWD and 16V
turbo engine, what a match up!

After we pulled out of the toll booth to pick up our ticket, i cranked on it and
pass the guy (he was now jammin' on his too) and pulled into the lane that goes
to East bound. We cranked it over the overpass and into the mostly constant
radius right hander to get on the turnpike. I was too focused on staying on a
correct line (turn in late, turn in late) to look at the guy behind me. When I
finally hit the highway, he wasn't far behind. It was the first time I really
got on it in a corner, and I have A LOT to learn. Plus, I need new tires in the
worst kind of way, I really shouldn't of done what I did do. 

However, we had a great time! The adrenil was pumping.
