Well I have a 97 CC with the V6, 5 speed, 3.21(?) gears, 215 Invictas and I
used to complain about my gas mileage until reading these posts. I get
about 17~18mpg city and highway (doesn't matter, both are the same with me)
and I do have a problem right foot. The one time that I was forced to keep
the highway speed below 80 for a tank I netted 22mpg on one tank that
included about 20% city driving.
I guess that my neighbors Chevy with its 350, automatic, and 4 wheel drive
getting only slightly less mileage just irks me.
