Hi, again.

I don't remember exactly, but I remember that they were marked (very small, though).

I get a consistent 20 mpg, but I drive VERY hard all the time -- e.g., 75+ (sometimes 85) on highways most of the time, and often very high rpms -- I spend an inordinate amount of time accelerating and going uphill in 3rd (OD off); even around town, I spend a lot of time in 3rd or even 2nd; and I've got wider, stickier and heavier (i.e., poorer gas mileage) tires (Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2, 205/55-16, on Hydras). If I drove more sanely, and with stock tires, I'd probably exceed 25mpg, which is what my wife routinely surpasses (albeit in her '93 240, with "normal"-sized Michelin MXV4's).
