On my trip back from Creston, visiting my parents, I was alone, except my dog, because my wife, Jessica, decided to stay and help her father with some chores for a few days. Well, because I wasn’t pressed for time nor in a hurry for anything, I figured I’d take it easy on my trip back to Omaha. I was in my Mini Cooper S driving with my dog, Sebastian, at a respectable 60 Mph on highway 34 toward Omaha. Driving at this speed is actually pretty hard for me as I have quite a lead foot but for the sake of gas mileage I took it easy. And what do you know, the little Mini payed me back nicely for that. Over the 117.3 Mile drive from Creston, IA to my driveway in Omaha I averaged 39.2 Mpg and peaked before driving in Omaha at 42.7 Mpg. Pretty damn good if you ask me. Now, driving in town is a different story altogether, but I’ll save that for another time.
