I'm actually quite serious. I averaged 28Mpg from Sackville, New Brunswick, back to central Ontario. This was with the cruise set of course at ~120-ish Km/h, over a 1,528Km trip and being in 6th gear nearly 100% of the time on a 4-lane highway with no need for downshift-overtakes that would have lowered the average.
I did say 100% highway, LOL! I wouldn't expect to get that going up to the cottage or something where I start in town and there is plenty of 2-lane highway with overtakes and stuff, even though it would still be a trip that would be considered "highway".
Long trips like that are the only time I bother to track my gas mileage. I horse on the car too much the rest of the time for there to be any reason to
