| Forget hypermiling... Why hypermile when you can get 32 MPG by driving between 60 and 65 mph? I just drove over 290 miles from the Inn at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC to Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN and got 32 MPG on my S550! The temp was in the high 80s, A/C on, no drafting, 3 adults totaling 500 lbs, a full trunk of suitcases and wine, started with a full tank of gas, no drafting behind trucks, and driving through the mountain pass. The warm tire pressures were 35 in front and 37 in the rear.
