Here we go.
Over the last 8 years and 94,000 miles, I have averaged 22 MPG. My last fill-up was 21.94 MPG.

Just did a 1400+ mile road trip to south carolina and back this past weekend, including detours along the way to hit some of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Got 28mpg on the way down there and on the way home we got a little better. Cruise set at 80-85 most of the trip... Non ethanol 93 octane is all over South Carolina, only managed to get 5 gallons for the trip back because I filled up just before we got there like an idiot but it seemed to help some

Do you have a GoPro mounted to the car?
Yeah. Didnt pull those videos yet, getting back into the daily grind of work has been tiring

You got some incredible pictures. From PA myself, really need to get around to a road trip like that some day. 1400 miles in 4 days?!
Did you have to go through Tennessee to get to SC or was it a little "detour"?

We stopped in Wytheville VA Wednesday night then got up early and went west on 81 and got off and went down into TN to get into NC, went down to Boone/Blowing rock NC to get on the blue ridge parkway. What a spectacular drive. It added about 2-3 hours onto our day but well worth it. Unfortunately part of the parkway was closed due to repairs and they detoured us off about 50 miles earlier then we were planning on getting off.
On the way home we went all highway around Charlotte NC (the way google maps wants you to go) in the interest of getting home to get ready for work the next day.
This was the original plan for the trip down.
We got detoured off about half way to Asheville and taken down to 43. Decided just to head to our friends place instead of going another 40 miles to see the last 10 miles of the parkway.
Sure beats my 9mpg
(that's 26.1 L/100km)
Though I'm thinking either I drive way too fast or somethings wrong with my car.

exactly.
28MPG is outstanding from a large V8 engine. Hell, that's what I average with 1/3 of the power and half the number of cylinders in a Civic sedan.
28mpg is also the highway fuel economy of my 8 seat passenger van on long treks at like 70mph.
