Well I ended up getting 31.8 mpg not featuring the throttle at all, and going 80-85 mph the whole time with the a/c on. So not bad! If I kept it at 70-75 it should get 33-34 no problem.
 
Just made the trek back home today and got 31.42 MPG this time around. There was more traffic on the roads so less cruising and more slow down / speed up. I was also going 80-85 MPH so MPG was under the 34 MPG EPA rating. Im still pretty impressed because I was not driving eco-style.

Off topic, its love bug season so the front bumper / windshield of my white car was coated in bugs. Decided to wash it when getting home and discovered a decent size rock chip that went down to the black plastic bumper ;( Was not too happy about that, ended up putting touch up paint over it.
 
You guys in Florida are spoiled when it comes to paint chips. One winter in Pennsylvania and you'll have more than you can count. One of many reasons I like a winter beater.

Lol, yes but if you live by the beach you will get rust, oh and lets not forget the heat. The heat takes a toll on the engine and transmission.
