I don't have pictures right now, but I just did a trip from Jacksonville, NC to virginia beach, VA, and back. I didn't measure anything on the way there, but the way back, I set everything back to 0, turned on the car, and started driving, when I got back, I turn of the car at the parking lot and then checked how it was.
194 miles, 26.8 mpg, 49.9 mph.
I had quite a bit of stop and go, I did take off in a few of them, I drove a long road that was changing from 70 to 55 all the time.
I have a V8 and I'm really happy to be getting that many miles per gallon. My coworkers have V6 and I4 and are getting the same of just a bit more on their cars, and they don't have nearly as much fun as I do. When I drove a long part of the road that was 55mph limit, I looked and saw that I was making 27.3 mpg.
Now if I drive on base, I'm happy if I get 12 mpg... and most driving I make is on base, so I normally only get about 17 mpg...
