hell naw it's not consistent, this was one of the few times I drove even 1/2
concerned about mileage... but I have gone a few hundred miles, returned to
the same station as Sam suggested, and can get 21-22mpg easily. Maybe it
was a fluke, but I don't think it's very likely after racking up over 80k mi
in a vehicle, one just knows when you get better mileage than normal.. then
again maybe I spend to much time paying attention to such when I could be
whoopin some 5.oh's... which I think I'll go do now
