75Max

Gas is costing too much and I'm doing lots of driving, so I thought I'd try an experiment and not drive over 75 mph at all and use the cruise control. Most recent gas mileage has gone from a consistent 29 - 30 mpg when I'd run it up to 80 - 85 in sprints to 31 - 32 mpg using the experimental rule. I'm ranging ~450 miles on 14.0 to 14.5 gallons. I'd try 70Max, but I don't want to get run off the road.

Good timing too - NY introduced a new end of summer program called Summer Brake . There were a ton of police cars out there this weekend. No problem for me just tooling along at 73 - 74mph in the middle lane. Tonight when I went to CT to Rein's Deli to pickup Melissa there were many stops in both directions both coming and going.
