Extra weight in the car
Possibly a Cleaner Air Filter
...Could be anything that helped you get better MPG, so just be happy that you got better MPG even as the car gets older.
...I know. I was expressing my pleasure at getting 30MPG when I've got 140k. I'm not dumb. I found it more than a bit surprising that I averaged 29.5 doing 75-95 the whole way, especially with the age of my car. I know how to get good gas mileage...I never use the A/C unless it's sunny and above 75, and I run my GS-D3's at 35 PSI. You forgot 'windows open' as a factor, as that increases your cD.
John, 2.5 times 65 is around 162. I didn't hit that
The whole thing about not understanding was intended as sarcasm, because I find it so amazing :slap:
