Hi Dave
I just got back from Chicago,Il.,and am driving a '97 Toyota Tercel,two people in it and stuff..Not too heavy,and with the cruise control set between 95-100KM I put on 2936 KM (1820.3 miles) and burned 145.9 liters of fuel(32.06 Imp. Gallons ) for an avarage of 56.78MPG for the trip..
I gassed up in west Detroit and again in Ottawa 842Km(522miles) and stogged in 37.464 litres of fuel(8.22 Imp Gal.) for the overall gas mileage of 63.5 MPG...
That was at 98-100KMH with cruise control on...
A great tail wind helped..
With that kind of mileage I',m keeping what I have..
A clean air filter,platinum plugs,and 45 Pounds of air in the tires and reduced speed helps..
