Oh ya, I've got tons of those! And Ni-Cd as well!

Rechargeable FTW!

ic... I don't take note of my mpg enough to really notice whether I'll gain anything or not.

I can get about 21.7mpg at 55mph.

I'm never in any hurry to go anywhere... heck, I've gotten 22.6mpgs on a trip one time.

Oh, and yes, hand calculated.

I changed to synthetic oil at a hair under 12000 miles....I noticed a slight increase in mpgs....maybe 0.5 to 1 mpg.

Hoping to get the second synthetic change done one night this week.
