I have a cousin that lives on Okeechobee lake, so I was off work a couple weeks at Christmas and took off to Okeechobee in my hybrid, round trip was 1,858 miles, ran 75 and 80 most of the way, topped the tank off at each fill up and it took 41 gallons for the round trip to Okeechobee fl for around 90 bucks. that was getting 46 mpg, I don't know where to thank Toyota or Obama or Both.
I hope it extends through the fall...........I have already decided to go 5 or 6 times in the spring, even though I thought I could not afford it. with Gas at 1/2 the price, it makes it definitely within the budget.

AND In the fall, I just might go every weekend from Laborday to Christmas.
