RE: [T3] Wacky Mileage

["Kevin Guarnotta" <kguarnotta@usa.net>]

I have gotten all sorts of mileage...I find it depends a lot on how you
drive as well as where you are driving. Ie quick vs slow accelerations,
highways allow for a consistent rpm range...which can be good.

I try to pay attention to where the gas pedal is when driving, the closer to
the floor, the worse your mileage.

My last full tank, 10.5 gallons, got me 310 miles, 
that's 29.5 mpg, mostly highway. With my limited 
experience, I would say 20-21 sounds low for combination
miles.
