Perhaps it is the hot weather.

Since I last filled I did 428 miles and put in 7.9 gallons ($29). 54 mpg. I have kept the cruise speed to 52-53 (only because my Econoline gets it best mpg there.) I did do a 2 minute blast at full throttle and several low mileage runs.

It is the best ever for me. I worry about melting my snow tires. Perhaps I will need new by winter.

I have a GPS so I know my miles are pretty accurate.

I may have 9000 miles on my $2000 dollar car. It is paid for.
