That's good that you were able to get that good of mileage...Not doubting you, but that seems to good to be true!...You sure you reset your trip odometer?[8D]
I agree--"too good to be true"--but, I have not found the "missing link" to refute this fact. Since I keep all my car's documentation in a little book the odometer has no bearing on my findings. It is very puzzling since I've never heard of anyone with a GT getting over 30mpg, let alone 32.9mpg--that seems impossible! [:I] [8D] Maybe, my car is truly "one of a kind"?

This was only the second road trip that I have taken with my GT. The first one was last October when I drove 900 miles down and back to Bend, Oregon. The engine only had about 2000 miles on it at the time and my best gas mileage for the trip was 26.3mpg. The best "highway gas mileage" since then has been 26.9mpg with 4373 miles on the odometer.

Just thought of one new factor to consider--[u]BENEVENTO Custom Sunroof Wind Deflector</u>--which was installed on my car at the Mossyrock PT Event. It is very substantial and streamlined. Could this be what has made the difference and significantly improved highway gas mileage???[:I] [:I] [:I]
