[QUOTE="Peter V, post: 1016509, member: 72015"] I am going to try another experiment today. This afternoon, I will be taking a 280+ miles road trip to pick up a set of rims/tires for my ST. The way there should be 140 miles. I will run into some traffic over a 5-10 miles stretch on the way there. On the way back, it should be a non-issue. Already knowing that I'll be in traffic, I plan to "RESET" my MPG calculator once I've passed traffic and will see how my MPGs look for the trek down. Keeping all things as close to constant as possible (IE, speed) on my way up and loaded with 4 rims/tires (I would guess about 300+lbs) I will once again, "RESET" my MPG calculator to see what MPGs I'll average. Given my recent experience, I am guessing that the drive back home will net better MPGs due to the extra weight. [/QUOTE]
