We went to Tahoe a couple weekends ago for the day (gas wasteful, we drove 300 miles total for about 5 hours of entertainment) but because the trip back is mostly downhill (after the initial climb) we did get from South Lake Tahoe to Sacramento (about 90 miles) on 1.1 gallons of gas. And the whole 150 miles drive home we got 62 miles per gallon.
So, another tip: buy a hybrid and then only drive downhill.
