If I drive mostly 45-50 on open highway, I get a little over 19. When I mostly driver 55-65, I get about 16. When I do a trip to Phoenix and do 75, about 15.

You mean, you figured we needed a SECOND thread to cover this: Miles per gallon- What are you getting?

I'll give you a quarter if you start either a plenum thread or a No Bus thread
