If I say I'm not satisfied, does that clear up the confusion?

The Tempo should get mid 30's but it has an awful a/t. A 5-sp conversion is in order. As you may note if you look at "Blue's" fuel log, it doesn't get driven much. Hardly ever, actually.

The truck is a truck and it doesn't get driven around empty much. It isn't going to get 30 no matter what some people believe, especially when it's working hard.

The ShWing is a disappointment fe wise, but 32 is in line with what I've read they all get. EFI would help a lot on that machine I'm sure. Gearing and aero too.
