So I have family in town.
Yesterday- we had 6 adults in the vehicle- a 1 yr old and a 3 month old.
In a combo car seat and an infant seat. And 2 strollers behind the 3rd seat... along with baby diaper bags.
We gassed up- got on the freeway- and I stayed at 65. then we headed up to Lake Arrowhead,CA. Up in the mountains.
I shifted to L and made my way up the mountain. Finally got to see some snow. Temp was about 34 up there.
We bought stuff. packed it in.
Headed down the mountain- once again- shifted to L- and used 3rd mostly (some 4th) to help with engine braking....
On the freeway- I stuck to the slow lane- doing about 60-65 mph.
This morning I commute to work- hit rush hour traffic- and im pleasantly surprissed... im currently at 19.4 MPG.....
I mean 6 adults and baby's.. and revving up the mtn-- and engine braking down.... 19.4 MPG DIC....
Once I refuel- ill see -- but my DIC and hand calcs are always very close...
I was thinking I was going to end up with 15 MPG or something like that... :blob:
