Road trip on my Focus. 1.4k miles I'm planning on taking a road trip from Miami to Columbia, MO next week.
My Focus has been giving me roughly 20/MPG city, and doing the math, gas-wise, it was going to be a rough kick in the twins. I got a tune-up and an oil change hoping to get better mileage, but the only difference I noticed was that it runs better (faster acceleration, higher speeds for each gear) but It pushed the bar to about 26/MPG (that's city miles, mind you. I rarely drive on the highway long enough to see a difference) and well.. Being so many miles, I've been wondering if this'll be a good idea after all.. What should I be expecting mileage wise?
