Between 59,600 and 59,700. I don't remember what the exact number was.

V1:
@55mph: 27-29mpg
@65mph: 25-28mpg
@75mph: 24-27mpg

Average City: 13-15mpg
Average Highway: 24-26mpg
Average Combined Tank: 16-18mpg

V2:
@55mph: 20-22mpg
@65mph: 19-21mpg
@75mph: 17-20mpg

Observed City: 11-13mpg
Observed Highway: 17-19mpg
Combined Tank (2 fillups, 35% city/65% highway): 13-16mpg

I have done a couple half hearted pulls in the V2 getting on highways, but the thing drinks fuel. Everytime I get past 1/4 throttle, the displays Instant mpg drops into the 6-8 range. I can feel myself buring a hole in the atmosphere, and I am loving every second of it. Mother Nature can suck a fat one.
