RE: [T3] Wacky Mileage

["Schlegel, Richard" <RSCHLEGEL@OCSD.COM>]

22mpg? This sure seems low. I've had V8 Chevy's get 20mpg. I would think
28-30 mpg would be the norm. Maybe your tires are taller than normal and
the Speedo is going slow. Mine are low profile so my Speedo is about
5mph fast.

Brian, I started recording mileage data for my Squareback for 
the first time ever starting in January.  After a couple of tanks, 
the mileage I measured was pretty poor.  (Ok... mid TEENS, yuck! Ok, 
lowish mid teens on the worst tank. Bleh.)

Guess what?  My mileage on the last tank was about 22mpg. 
Wow -- pushing a 50% increase!  That included a good chunk of highway 
miles done at a NON-miserly speed.
