Just clocked a 232 mile trip. Filled up a local station. Drove 232 miles. Returned back to same pump at same station and filled up again. Tank took exactly 10.84 gallons. That's 21.4 mpg! My X is a 2000 model, V6, auto tranny, 2wd, 72K miles. Drove at 60mph, no wind deflector, no crossbars. One thing to note as well...I did put in new NGK Iridium plugs and the X seems to like em.
