Well, it really did take the cake on the way back from our visit to family this Thanksgiving weekend because we carried a cake in the back seat. Anyway, I was wowed when the mileage calculation came in for the Rio. I had no idea. I had suspicions that it was a miser from the times I drove it and noticed the fuel needle didn't seem to move. This first calculation was almost all highway, with a dip into Houston traffic for a couple of hours. So, now the heat is on. I feel the need to beat that score in my Metro, but that would have to mean a purely highway voyage to see how it would do. The likelihood of that I don't forsee. We'll see, if we continue to document mileage, how the vehicles compare. Already I am quite pleased with the mileage on both. |
