Off topic here, but I was trying to get a better look at your Avatar Daox.

It looks kind of like a 97-03 body style Grand Prix but not - I see now it's a Paseo.

I had a question for you though. When you calculate your MPG, are you doing this off of your trip odometer / fuel receipt?

I see in your journal you point out: "Swapped 185 for 155 wide tires. STILL needs exhaust work."

Then shortly after: "SMASHED my old record! Most mileage on a trip to Green Bay and a trip to parents up north."

Is the diameter of the tire the same? (have you ever used a GPS to calibrate your speedometer?) - or at least compared you trip odometer to a known start to finish map distance?
