mopar71: I'm getting 0ver the last 3 tanks 45ish.. I have a 29.2 mi commute one way to work every day. I've found a route so i don't take the hiway & takes me about an hour. I've found that the hiway is bad for my FE. The routs has two lights & 4 stop signs. So I'm not in stop & go traffic either. How long is your commute?

PS You can look at my fuel log too. Click on my sig below

Welcome to the site. I was a hardcore Mopar guy back in the day! Glad you could join us.

Oh yeah, the first time an Echo came into our shop, it took me awhile to get used to the relocation of the instrument cluster. Weird.

Oh yeah! Check out the 1971 Demon I used to have...............
