yea, I watched that one yesterday (got to love being out of school for 3 weeks) its kinda cool and I want to do that in my car, but shoot for 44-50mpg on my GSR powered hatch. So far my best is 40mpg and that is with folding in the mirrors. Next, I'll have to do some "speed taping"

My best in the CRX was 520 miles with no stuttering.

Audi really has their shit together, apparently.

my best average mpg over a tank so far was 73.2mpg
got about 770 miles on 10.6 gallons of gas

and that was mixed city and highway driving
i havent used a full tank on the highway yet
