I just returned from a 700 mile round trip. Started out with 28 mpg after clearing the computer, and it crept up to over 32 mpg by the end of the trip. On the way back, it stayed above 32 mpg the whole way, at one point I was seeing 33.7.
I've never gotten more than 29 mpg on an extended highway trip before. The only difference is that I replaced the turbo a few thousand miles ago...and oh yea, put new Michelin Pilots on too.
The tires. Bet that's it. Had BFG gForce 225-50R-16 on instead of the stock 215-55R-16s that are back on it now. They'd be just a bit smaller in circumference so I was probably getting a little higher miles on the odometer than I was actually driving.
What kind of tires are you running?
