Don't feel bad it could be worse!
You could do like I have too and run premium all the time!
Plus the best I have ever gotten is 12.7mpg. Granted it is all because of the performance aspects of my truck but I just wanted you to know that there are some that would love to see 15mpg. lol
$50 dollars to go 225 miles takes a toll on the wallet faster than you can imagine

RE: Gas mileage?
Larger diameter & wider tires also provide more rolling resistance, so if you have non-stock tire sizes it can change your mileage.
And are you calculating gas mileage by filling the tank until the pump clicks/stops the first time or are you filling it until you can actually see the gas? (that can be the difference of about a gallon)

Last summer gas hovered around 1$/L or 3.30 $US/G!! I found myself car-pooling a lot, and just giving my buddies a lil money for gas when we went places. Buddy in a del Sol buys 94 octane, he was paying about $3.50 US/G, but it only held 40$.

My gas guzzler gets terrible mpg combined with living in Orange County, CA. Last year I was paying, at times, $3.70/gallon for the cheap stuff. [sm=jawdrop.gif]

RE: Gas mileage?
Thank youall for helping me along with this question.............
Iordered all the parts today, and will have them by Monday. I will not be able to do the job for a month or so duethat I am having back surgery tomorrow.Having parts lay around will help withthe healing process, can't wait to get back in the garage.
Thanks again,

p.s. check out the misc stuff for sale, I listed a bunch of newCRAFTSMAN tools.
