Default My worst MPG evAr!!!11!1!!!!

Your guys are probably going to laff/flame... but yeah lol

Camera phone sucks, but here are some pics...







the receipt pic sucks but reads:
• gallons: 10.5
• price: $2.55 (87 oct)
• total: $27.08
• MPG: 25

There is a reason it is this low – I woke up extremely late for work on Sunday. If I'm late to work one more time, I'm fired! (until my incidences clear up in February anyway). Work is 35 miles away... so luckily there was no traffic... I averaged about 110mph the entire drive (made it to work right on the 7:00 dot whew!) and that probably killed the entire tank, so this whole tank I didn't exactly practice good MPG driving lol

just thought I'd share my all time low

yeah, the only time I get to VTEC in the morning is when I take my U-Turn to pull into the dealership...lol..other than that..str8 thru rural neighborhoods..like 25 mph..and buses..but it's only a 4 minute drive for me.. Funny story..today..I did my VTEC run up to the entry of the dealership...it's about a 1/16 mile...so I don't even really hit 2nd gear..but this Odyssey was in front of me..and I came up on him so fast, he swerved over into the other lane cause he thought I was gonna run into the back of him or something ...LOL..guess u had to be there...

wow.. $2.25 for premium? it's close to $3 here in North West.

WOW-- I am late to work ALL THE time...but they gave you an ultimatum eh? -_- 110mph average?! WOW...i'd be sooo chicken about getting a ticket. a radar detector probably wouldn't even help in that situation.
