For +500 miles per tank of gas, add:
-1 part 59-60mph (no more than 60mph) despite posted 65mph on freeway
-4 parts Goodyear Fuel Max tires
-1 part 2008 Honda Civic
I think the most we ever got out of a tank of gas before was around 410 miles. Right now we're sitting at 460 miles with 1/4 tank remaining. Amazing what highway driving and a new set of tires can do! I'll fill Stella up in the morning but we'd totally break the 500 miles per tank barrier just on the drive up to work tomorrow morning without filling up!
Moreover, we're putting roughly 550 miles on the car every week just commuting back and forth to work. It's quite possible that we'll spend the same amount of money, perhaps less, each month in gas if we're able to maintain all of this "efficiency."
I would have never imagined taking this new job with the associated commute that we could possibly spend less in gas money per month than what we were. Crazy! Again, we feel very blessed.
