Then, we drove to the pharmacy. After stopping at home, we drove to lunch and back home. That evening, I drove my nephew back to his mother's work. On the way home, I stopped at the grocery store. Once I arrived home for the evening, I had 213 total miles on the odometer and less than half of a tank of gas remaining.

I checked the miles remaining on the first tank of gas along the way as we stopped in between trips. Interestingly, Tuesday afternoon around 5:22 pm, the display read that at 108 miles on the odometer, there were 189 miles remaining on the tank. Wednesday morning, still 108 miles on the odometer, but 179 miles remaining on the first tank of gasoline. Overnight sitting in the garage, the estimate went down by 10 miles?

After driving about three legs of the way over 30 miles each trip, the miles per gallon dramatically improved. On my short errands around the city streets at 40 miles per hour, I was averages less than 25 miles per gallon of fuel. Now that I drove 65 miles per hour for 30 miles (three trips), the miles per gallon improved to 30.1. So far, this is the all time high. I do not typically drive that much every day, so I do not believe that the car will stay up in the 30's on mpg.
