Last 3 tanks 36.3 MPG, 36.5 MPG, 35.3 MPG, with an Auto

Finally did a longer road trip, on the way home I filled up just before getting on the highway. Did mostly 70-75 with the A/C on about half the time. Pulled off twice for rest areas, went over the Grapevine (4000 elev.) and hit a little bit of LA traffic (on a Sunday). South down 99 to 5, Merced to San Diego, filled up just off the freeway when I hit SD and did the math. 36mpg! I am quite happy! I seem to average 28-29 in San Diego daily driving, so I'm happy regardless!

Very nice, people at work don't want to believe me when I tell them my SUV gets 36 mpg from time to time. Just got 36.4 on my last tank with almost all highway with an average speed of 58 mph.
