I am probably not the best case with which to make comparisons considering 
that I was towing my half-Healey trailer.  Never-the-less, I can state that 
I had a couple of 19+ MPG legs with an overall average for the 1,219 mile 
trip of 17.20 MPG.  This included two trips over the Tejon Pass (The 
Grapevine - 4,144 feet) and 165 miles in and around San Diego, including the 
rally, during the week.  Both to and from, we maintained 60 MPH on I-5 in an 
attempt to save a few gas dollars.  It was interesting to note that only two 
eighteen-wheelers (both empty) passed us during the whole trip.  All the 
others were doing 55 MPH.  Understandable with diesel running $5.00+ per 
gallon.
