I drive 35 miles each way to work and back 5 days per week. I get 14.5 - 15.5
mpg. My milage log ( http://www.dakota.cybermail.net ) shows the story. Pretty
poor. I do like to stomp on it, so how fast I can do 0 - 70. The traffic is
a lot of stop and go during rushhour. If I could use my cruse control I might
do better. I'd love to get 16.7. ;)
