I have been running it at a consistent 0-70 miles per hour. Averaging about 5000 rpm for the two road trips I took it on the past two Sundays. I was getting exactly 50 mpg. I had the low fuel light blink today and it took 4.2 gallons to fill it up.

I am not trusting it past 240 miles I figure. That way it gives me plenty of range with a much needed rest stop.
