Subject: DML: 4.7 Mileage...

Well I went on a trip today for a job interview, it was 175 miles round
trip, spent a total of 1 hour fighting traffic and covering like 15 miles
but I still knocked down 18.3 MPG (cheater method). I am very
pleased. Everyone is probably thinking that I babied it, well I did on teh
way there, went 70 the whole way (19.8 MPG). On the way back I got stuck
in traffic, and drove almost like I usually do. I can't complain. I am
sure the 5-speed helped a bit.

Had to share,
