18.34mpg

Well after all my complaining about poor mileage I took everyones advice and kept my foot out of it. I put 453 miles on a tank of fuel I haven't done that since well!!!!!!!!!!! I cant remember. This was about 1/2 highway and about 1/2 in town driving. It took 24.7 gallons to fill it up to the top and cost me $58 at 2.35 a gallon, but I got 18.34mpg. Wow is the only thing I have to say. Thanx for all the help guys.

Oh yeah I was getting 14-15mpg before.
