    I drove up from Atlanta to Northern Kentucky and had the CC set on 65 the whole time.

    Did 552.5 miles and filled up with 9.476 gallons for 58.4 mpg!

    I was extremly pleased. My avg mph was 54 mph. I have a picture but dont know how to post it with my hone and am not near a computer.

    Oops.... Didn't the dealer tell you not to go a constant speed or use cruise control for the first 600 miles :)

    I don't think that "rule" makes a lot of sense as the speeds of the ICE and motors will change with the ups and downs of the highway. I am impressed with your mileage!

    I guess the title of the thread confused me :) "My first full highway tank"
