Just did 350mi W.Hartford to Rocha-cha-cha

Just had a great trip WH to Rochester ~350mi.
Cruising 75-80, 37psi front, 39psi rear, 93octane, fully loaded (taking kid to college)

29.8 mpg.

'07 IS250AWD still feels great, not as great as the Boxster though

The stock wheels are on it now.

The wheels in the pic are my winter wheels with snows. I went 16" w/Hankook WS300 snows.

The car is leased.
Only mods are a hardwired passport and K&N Airfilter.
I'm convinced the K&N is the reason for the mpg
