Default Gas mileage with JoeZ

Might have posted in Performance section?....

Results of my roundtrip to Chicago yesterday

Conditions
Distance: 278 miles
Temp: 38-52, mostly 44-48
Pavement: dry
Traffic: mostly open, 2 times in stop and go for total of 12 miles (25 minutes)
Speed: 72-82mph

Gas mileage
72mph: 31.8mpg
82mph: 27.1mpg

Trip average: 29.8mpg @ 75mph

Impressions
Definite jump now at 5K rpms
Sound:

ADDITIONAL: This was also with punching it in and out of traffic and "testing" the passing capabilities while observing safe driving standards at all times
