RE: Gas mileage?
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?
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 $3.50 US/G, but it only held 40$.

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)

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?
The highest it hit here, during the BS "Gas shortage" was $4.20!(for the cheap stuff). And pump and runs weren't half as bad here as they were in the south (aka States). Us Canadians were getting screwed! That was around Hurricane Katrina time, sept '05.

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.
