Your mileage is much better than mine. What speed are you driving to get 30 mpg on the highway?

My last tank, I got 16.1 mpg in the city. When I was on the highway, my trip computer showed 21.9 mpg at 80 MPH.

I've had my diesel for 3 weeks now...

I checked my mileage in the city today when I filled up with a calculator 16.8 mpg. I will be taking it on
the highway soon and will report my mileage. It is really cold here right now, so that has something to do
with my mileage.
