mpg average with Kleemann s/c
Hey guys, took a little road trip this weekend... and I averaged 25.0 mpg! 
with 3 passengers and luggage. This was over a mountain pass with several jaunts to 100+ while passing. Cruise set at 65 otherwise.
What do you guys typically get on long trips?

I average 19-20 'overall' with mostly "city" driving...and some freeway. I go very light on the pedal most of the time...unless I have to dust off some inferior Japanese sedan!
On a couple trips of freeway only driving I averaged exactly 24 mpg both times. The way I see it, getting that good of mileage out of a 5.5 liter V8 is amazing. I keep my tires inflated at 37 front....40 rear.
How much air pressure do you guys run in your tires..?
