Well guys, we took my SD and my Grandma's Pacifica up north for the Labor Day weekend.... I tabulated my mpg and the scores are in. These are GPS verified for distance..... I filled the tank of the car up just to the point of overflow dribbles each time.... Bounced the back end of the car to make sure no bubbles...... Filled on level (or very close to level) pads.... Car loaded with Three adults (175, 165, 150) plus about 125 lbs of luggage......
First Fill, mostly level ground.. Very easy driving at a near constant 61mph with some towns and a little passing..... 158 miles - - - - 4.58 gals back to full........ 34.49 MPG!!!! :D :D
Second Fill, VERY hilly driving with lots of acceleration and passing, in altitudes averaging 900ft..... Aprox 180 miles or so - - - - - 27.5ish (need to get receipt from car.)
Third Fill, coming home. Same terrain as First fill, but with more passing and aggressive driving behavior.... 158 miles - - - - 27.3ish (need to get this receipt from car too...)
