Thanks for that. In other news related to the cold weather my Mother's van which is of the same year but has a 3.3 litre engine went from about 15-17 MPG to 11.9-13. (It's mostly driven fewer than 15 miles per day.)

I'll be open to 89 on some occasions but on the first trip home when I used it, It didn't return as high FE as I thought it would; And I was doing some pulse and gliding that day.
