This coming from a guy who wouldn't wear deodorant until he got married. What has been getting us such good mileage so far is the wife's drive through mostly rural back roads. That may be changing here shortly as I get back to law enforcement full time and she will be going to an as needed status at the hospital. In the long run it will save us huge amounts of gas because I'lll have a cruiser to drive again and she won't be traveling the 250 miles a week. The per tank mileage is going plummet but you win some you lose some.
