Volvo 244 range 200

Just ran 323.4 miles non-stop from Burlington, VT to Ithaca, NY in five hours flat. That is, I did not stop for fuel. On the return trip, the car began sputtering as I pulled into a gas station, with the trip showing 327.5 miles. The fuel tank took 13.3 gallons. Vehicle is a 1991 244 with a 5-speed manual on 195/70R14s. Did the trip solo, with one suitcase as the only cargo.

At an average speed of 64.7 mph, this seems like great mileage (24.6 mpg).
