was the tank just filled and he drove it for a little bit? mine tends to do that, but after a few miles it drops back down to around 20-25mpg.

Must be a fresh tank. I have gotten it up to 40mpg on a freshly pumped tank going highway only for 10 miles on my GS300. Unfortunately, you gotta exit eventually and mileage that high is unsustainable. I usually get 24.5mpg-28.5mpg driving regularly on a 50/50 mix of city driving by the time I reach the end.

Geez... you guys have no life. But I have to admit I am tempted to try it and see if I can set a record.

i drive slow as hell, and i try to keep my RPM's between 1000 and 1750... I sometimes get like 33 miles per gallon... My drive to school is about 6 miles with no traffic lights or stop signs... It's a residential neighborhood that has a speed limit of 35 mph/radar enforced... So i just put it on cruise control the whole way and I get crazy miles to the gallon on that meter

P.S. - I don't know if any one noticed the picture but his car is going 0 miles per hour ! LOL
