rh71, if the 3.0 gets only 15.7 miles to the gallon, may be I don't feel so bad...  |
It's really weird... when I drove up and down the road to the train station exclusively for nearly a full tank, like 2mi. a day, lots of red lights, I was only getting 12.7mpg. Now I'm still doing that (it really hurts) but also doing like 50mi. highway on the weekends and getting that nearly 16mpg "mixed". If I did majority highway (like working somewhere other than home) I'm sure it'd push 18+...
