Why don't you Google or Map Quest, etc. the miles and divide the used
gasoline to find the answer???  :)

Subject: [Chrysler300] Gas Math

Back from trip to Temecula to hob nob with fellow 300'rs.  Trying to  get a 
handle on the MPG.  In 772 miles I used 62.6 gallons of  hi-test.  Easy
enough 
here.  Divide 772 by 63 showing 12.25 mpg  gross.  BUT, speedo is widely 
optimistic.  The GPS says when the odo  shows 83, actual road velocity is
70.  This 
appears to be 18 percent  high.  Do I multiply the 12.25 by 118 which gives 
14.45?  Or perhaps  reduce the 772 miles which would also be 118 % high to
the 
actual road miles  driven?  Maybe that is the same but cocktail hour is 
drawing near and don't  want to damage the few brain cells left, that is
Jack 
Daniel's job.   Help.  I was always asleep during math.....only woke up for
lunch 
and auto  shop.  LJ
