I managed to get around 34 mpg while not even trying to get good gas mileage on this trip back. As far as actually driving around Bloomington, the town is just too small to avoid the high traffic routes. It's a joke driving in that town.

Also, my timing belt broke again. Luckily I was right in town and was able to get it parked. Hopefully getting it fixed today, otherwise I'm bumming rides 3 hours south. I'm really hoping I don't find out some other serious issue is present in my car.

Update. Timing belt tensioner and pulley went bad.
