There can be variations in the fill, as such you have to do it over a
few tankfuls to get somewhere near accurate.
My shonky math works it out at 40 miles to the gallon, even in that
foreign language I can make it out to be a fairytale.

For the 300E you are offering me.
I filled up the tank when Curt was coming for the Quantum. Then I drove it
120 miles 'in-town' back and forth to work, plus to the grocery store, etc.
120 miles later, it took 3.04 gallons to top the tank off.
You do the math.

I can get 26mpg on the highway @ 70. Suppose I might eke out 28 if I
could go 450 miles non-stop. Ain't going to happen, though. I CAN
routinely average 23+ in 70/30 mixed driving, though. All this with an
M104, that I've been told is more efficient than the older M103.
In short, if you can ever s
This is because gassers have to maintain stoich where diesels are quite
happy at 100:1 air/fuel ratios. When you are coasting in a diesel its
like free mileage.

Lord, I wish my TE would do that!
Best I've ever gotten was 23 without AC -- the trip this summer with
the AC going full blast netted me a grand 21 mpg.
I'd figure 3-4 mpg better with a sedan, given the lower gearing on
the TE, but no more. Mid 20s is about normal. I'm only getting 28.5

Yep.

She does very well. Our only issue is when she first crawls onto the bike --
and I have to say, "Are you done wiggling so I can put it into gear?" I
think she just makes her helmet follow what mine does.

One major difference in fuel economy between gasoline and Diesel
engines is the range of performance between stop and go and long
distance highway driving.
In general, Gassers will do reasonably well on the highway, long
distance, although still less than Diesel in MPG. Currently, in fuel

I can tell you that warmup and stops take a huge toll on mileage. If you can
drive hundreds of miles without touching the brakes, you get very high mpg.
My Achieva gets 34-36mpg with the cruise set at 70 mph, but on a four mile
drive
