My last trip was about 580 miles round trip (about 100 miles is city
driving). Speeds between 60 and 70mph. I usually go the speed limit.
Average 16mpg. About half the trip was with A/C on. Carrying a Packasport
90XP on top. Audi 2.5L 5-cylinder.

At 60mph; 3550rpm, 70mph; 4000rpm.

A newbie question to you all--



I have a 2.2 WBX gowesty engine, 1990 Westy, Automatic,  with Generat AT2
Grabber 215/65/16  at 44 pounds

I usually highway drive at 63 mph, 3400 RPM, and average about 20 MPG.    Is
that about right?



What highway speed / RPM  do most of you drive at?   What is your MPG?





Thanks

Stan Shapiro
