OK, if you got 67.5mpg, out of ANY gas engine in a car (not motorcylce) You have broken basically all the laws of physics. I just listened to an interview with the head of GM's environmental department and NO CAR COMPANY EVER has produced a car getting greater than 52mpg out of Gasoline only. EVER. Not with synthetic, not with a different air filter, not with the seats removed, and going down hill. I will give $1000 (One thousand dollars) to any person that can show ONE tank (1) in a ford aspire that gets them to 600 miles. Let alone 675. I am not picking a fight, Logic just dictates that this is not a possible number.

On a 10 gallon tank that you pulled into the gas station at 675 miles, that means you still had sufficient gas to get you there, therefore putting you more likely at 70 miles per gallon, however I think you will be hard pressed to find a person on this site, or fordfestiva.com that has been able to put more than 8.9 gallons of gas in their car, at any one time. This is because the feed off of the gas tank is not exactly perfectly in the bottom, and the car, if completely out of gas on the side of the road, will still have close to a gallon of gas in it. Therefore making your 675 miles now on 9 Gallons of gasoline,or like I said 8.9 gallons. Therefore, putting your gas mileage at 75.84 miles per gallon. NOPE. Not even in a hybrid. Just PLAIN NO.
