Gas Mileage Shocker!!!!!!!
I just filled up and have been avg. 17.5-19.2 mpg city driving. I put some fuel injection cleaner in a full tank of gas drove 96.8 miles very patiently only going 5mph over posted speed limit. I topped off when I got back and I only needed 3.577 gallons of 87 since I'm @11.5* timing. This = 27.06mpg. I'm not sure why but I did fill all the way up even some extra fuel slightly came out of the filler neck at the top.

Gonna try because gas prices are high and my paycheck is low with no O.T......And I dont want to trade for a small car with great mpg's like a Civic or such.

27mpg on the highway is pretty normal for me, course I got 2.73s,
I remember a commercial where a toyota i think was advertised that it could go from Aspen, CO to either Tuscon,AZ or El Paso, Tx on a full tank, WELL NO F*CKING DUH ITS COMPLETELY DOWNHILL [:@]
