I am doing a little more city type driving the last couple of weeks than I have previous have. Mid 41mpg. is my it's the pits disgusting low figure when day temps. are mid 30's,
and nights mid 20's which is unusually cold for here. (night figures)

With a 50/50 highway/city mix, 45mpg. is usual for me.

I would be sad not to see 53-57mpg regular on road trips, even in somewhat cool weather.

My record is 62.9, all stock except 41# in tires. Three times I've cracked 62!!!

A scan gauge, or older type sub. for my veh's. vintage would be cool, but I'm just not quite there yet!

I always change the oil, and plugs just before a road trip, and make sure the air cleaner
looks nice.
