New Personal best 54.3 mpg
Well - I've been tracking my tankfuls pretty regularly and haven't yet bought a scangauge type piece of equipment. Been averaging most tankfuls around 46mpg driving around 62 mph and about a 70/30 hwy/city driving. I recently changed the struts and althougth I don't think that helped my MPG it sure does handle better. When I took in in the get the wheels aligned the guys there I was out almost 3% per front tire. Apparently the previous owner swapped in old struts and kept the adjusting bolts. I ended up ruining two tires that were only two months old because of that. But the good news is on my last 1000 mile trip my 1st tankful keeping to 59mph on the cruise control, no AC and windows rolled up I got 54.3 mpg- woo hooo - I finally broke the 50 mpg. Now I'm wondering if I can break 60mpg - next mods. Pump up air pressure, front lawn edge air dam, scanguage type device, and switch to synthtic oil for the motor and tranny, I have another big trip next month would love to break 60mpg!
