Default Drove 650 miles this weekend...

the ol' girl ran great as usual.

Overall MPG: 25.6 mpg
Average speed: 69 mph

This is with 3 passengers...totaling ~450lbs, and I'd say ~100lbs of luggage.

Also, just changed my oil before the trip...My engine LOVES Shell Rotella T (5-40 synthetic).

Default yeah, definately...

I could have done a lot better had I not had other passengers and if I drove a bit slower.

But i'm happy with that, since I prefer spirited driving. ;]

Recently my hard-core city mileage has been so-so, like 16. Not sure what to think...

Default Welcome to the world of enthanol fuels. What are we saving again?

Lower mpg figures, you burn more fuel, and the farms growing the corn are burning how much fuel and oil to grow it? And then our fuel is tree-fitty a gallon because of it.

Whatever.....

My roommate is presently trying to convert his Taurus to run on hydrogen. Seriously.
