Guys;

I got around 30MPG on a trip from Hartford to Chicago...obvously all highway and fairly constant speed, where the motor is strictly making up for air and rolling resistance...tire pressure is certainly a big factor, but mileage is mostly a function of your right foot...don´t forget also, that todays fuel is not what it used to be...that percentage of alcohol just doesn´t have the BTUs that gasoline has...so there´s just not the amount of energy in the todays fuel to begin with...and that will translate to a decrease in milage...

Cheers
