34 mpg is my highest. But I had a weight advantage over most Mustangs.

Weight reduction and aerodynamics go a VERY long way. You say nice, but I bet your road trip was nice with things like sound deadening material, cruise control, A/C, radio, seating for four (well, sort of) ....
My road trips in the Snow Ball don't offer those comforts. Though it still has the interior... for now.

yea i get ya. i still think it would be sweet to say to someone that has a focus or something small that my car gets just the same mileage as yours and mine will smoke yours lol. it was nice running the A/C for pretty much the whole trip though, dont know if i could do without.
