Oh no, another one
.
Be honest, is this the exact same road and style of driving you did back when you had 35d? Is that a one-way trip?
What are your mpg numbers for the full tank?
We had people claim 28mpg on 35i, but for short distances such as 200 miles trip, what turned out to be in very favorable conditions (downhill with tail wind).
I will give you an example: I took a camping trip this weeked, vehicle loaded to the roof, family in the vehicle, and 6 hour drive from Seattle to mid-Oregon (ocean coast). Used exactly half a tank for 315 miles. Trip odometer said I did 29mpg. But on the way back, I was not getting the same mpgs, and overall rate for the 850mile trip was down to 26.1.
