The average mileage over this time is 17.32 mpg. The best mileage, 20.28 mpg, was a 157 mile trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway where the speed limit is 45. I was surprised by this as there are lots of ups and downs. The worse mileage was 14.14 mpg, which included up a long grade, 8%, on highway 421 from Wilkesboro to Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Cool car, Nkam. Awesome trip. I'm shooting for the Natches Trace Parkway.
