Wow - I've got one, though it's a wheelchair conversion Element. One the highway we can get around 25 or a bit better if we keep the speed under 65, but in the city it's a LOT lower. Where did you get this magic alcohol/petrol?

I AVERAGED about 28.3 for OVER 1200 miles.
I left Oceanside CA and went straight over 15 and caught 395 north. They are gradually making that ALL 4 lane, but it is still a lot of just 2 lane. You go thru such neat older towns as Lone Pine and Bishop. You also pass Mono Lake and Manzanar. Actually, you could spend a WEEK on just that 400 or so miles, having everything from Bristlecone pine 'forest' to several interesting Hot Springs.
I drove around in Reno for a couple days, up to Virginia City than returned via I80 down thru Sacramento and than South on 5. HUGE traffic jam in Stockton due to having virtually the entire Freeway tore up. That cost me maybe 45 additional minutes. The traffic jam in LA was bad, but not as bad as Stockton, all things considered. At least I knew LA jam was coming!
I averaged a good speed. Maybe 60+ or so, with Cruise set on about 71 or 72. I kept it in as high as gear as it'd take even though Honda claims to have a 'smart' automatic. I'd let speed sluff off going uphill trying to stay in top gear. Sometimes, it was just NOT possible and you'd end up in 3rd or 4th. No overheating issues.
BTW, I used nothing BUT Chevron mid-grade fuel. I filled 4 times, including about 5 miles from my house on the return voyage. My average was about +-1mpg, which is amazing.
I thought I had an excel spreadsheet but I can't find it.
Too much is never enough
...Chevron gas.
Every since I worked at a Chevron station pumping gas in 1965 in SoCal, car guys have said it's the best.
Here we get discounts on it through grocery purchases at Safeway - up to $0.20/gal.
