Not a photo of a car per se, but I took this picture of my fuel economy meter last Thursday on a road trip to northern California I recently took. This was the highest mpg ever I've ever seen on my car, and a minute after I took this picture, it jumped up to 83.1 mpg or something like that. I took this picture while driving down the Grapevine (if anyone is unfamiliar with "the Grapevine," it's that incline of I-5 going down from the summit of the Tejon Pass in southern California). I guess you get a lot of mpgs with your foot off the gas pedal while doing 80 mph down that incline for several minutes. I was a bit surprised.
