I've been driving on the road (not freeway) quite often lately. Seems like my gas mileage isn't all that great. I'm tad below the 1/4 tank line and I've driven 257 ~miles.

Yeah, the funny thing is I get the same mileage no matter what I do...it always seems to average out to 24-25mpg...drive to work, mix of fwy and surface, weekends, even drive to Vegas...same! But it's better than my 454-4wd 2500 Suburban, so I can't complain!
