    What is the WORST fuel economy you have gotten?

    As the title says, what is the worst fuel economy you have gotten in your Mirage, and why was it so bad?




    Mine was the last tank of gas. About 240 miles with the cruise control set to 75 mph heading into a stiff 25 mph headwind while going through the hill country of Texas (LOTS of 5,000+ rpm revs to maintain speed). Plus having to run the defroster the entire way, headlights, fog lights, and windshield wipers due to heavy rain that had us slowing down to 40 mph a couple of times. On top of that, my wife and I were in the car, a mobility scooter, and luggage for a 4 day vacation.

    When I filled the car up, hand calculations came out to be 32.2 mpg!
