39.2 MPG over 55 miles...with an average speed of 65.6 MPH
On the way back I was crusing about 70-75mph, but had to detour through a few blocks in the city since I missed the freeway interchange. Even with that, my avg speed was 65.6 mph. Had I of not gone through the city, I think I would have hit the 40mpg mark.
Also, while in Los Angeles, I was still amazed at how clean the tail pipes are. You can wipe them with a white cloth and get no black soot. Crazy...
I was suprised to see the buildings on the new navigation system. Kind of a cool feature, lol.

It's pretty easy to get it up into the 40's while driving 70-75. Hell even doing 80 its not bad on the diesel. Pretty amazing huh? Wait till you get more miles and break it in, i'm at 8500 right now. Efficiency only goes up up and away. Tail pipes are awesome, no carbon deposits ever.
