Default Gas mileage

With gas prices they way they are right now, I was interested in finding out what my gas mileage is, with 30,000 miles on the car. On my way down I-80 to Vallejo this weekend, I got 29 mpg, back up the hill I got 25mpg; both directions with A/C, 3 passengers & luggage. I thought that was not bad, considering what I've seen on others' postings on nasioc.

How are you all doing? I remember Theo mentioned once his gas mileage went down for awhile after some of his upgrades...

I was doing pretty good on our trip. I was figuring about 24 mpg. My calculations may be a bit off, but pretty close.

Ben in his 2.5RS got killed the most by the trip. He rolled into town with the gas light on. we all had about 1/4 left.
