Going for a new range record!

[IndyFetch]

I filled up my VX on the West side of Indianapolis, IN. It has the 10-gallon tank, but I topped it off several times until it took an extra 1.5 gallons or so. I drove it to Evansville, Newburgh, and back to Indy, then to work. I now have 408 miles on this tank, and it still shows that I have over 1/2 tank.

I am estimating that I achieved 70 mpg on the trip to Evansville and back. I drove at 55-65 mph in light traffic, drafting when I could. My tires are inflated to 45 psi and I have the A/C belt removed. I had the sunroof popped open and the driver's window open about 2-4 inches.

I am hoping to get 625-650 miles out of this tank. I will be in crappy Indianapolis traffic for the rest of the week, and I also have the race traffic to deal with (I live about 2 miles from the track). If I can keep on pace and get good mileage on the way to work and back for the rest of the week, I think I can do it.

Now I REALLY want the 13.5 gallon tank that Spectra Premium sells...
