Yo Group,
How ya doin? In line with the recent gas griping threads, I made an effort the other day to drive my car like a granny in an effort to see what kind of mileage I could get. I reset the mileage calculator on the computer and set out home after work. It's all highway, with some hills for about 30 miles.
It was painful as hell to drive the car barely touching the gas pedal. But in the end, I got 28.7 MPG!!!!! Pretty goof for a six, considering the motor revs pretty high on teh highway.
How about the rest of you? Ever try to see how good your mileage can be?
It's tough to do, since these cars really WANT to be driven hard. My car HATES to be
under 3K on ther tach.
