After taking a trip to Durango, CO, I figured the best possible mile per gallon for my little vehicle, Mazda MX-5. I normally can get about 31 miles per gallon driving around town. I could not believe how much more I got driving on highways. I got a whopping 41.92 mpg driving down from Durango back to Phoenix. It is about 33% more!!!! I guess when you drive at a constant speed, windows up, and not stopping and going makes all the difference.

How about the fact that you were going downhill? you probably could have coasted on neutral using no gas for a bit of that trip. driving my citycarshare prius, it shows gas consumption calculations. if you're going downhill without pressing the gas pedal, it will go over 100 mpg, allegedly.
