Wow (Gas Mileage)

[MilTownSHO]

On my last fillup on the way back from the convention I averaged 26mpg with the 98!

I was impressed, before I was averaging about 23-24 with the a/c running full blast in the lovely 100+ degree weather we had, which I was also pretty happy about.

Averaged 11 on the track day though.

I got 28 once. I was pretty suprised. Most of the time it's hi 17-21 mpg. I do alot of city driving and short trips.

Just Friday I drove ~100 miles on 1/4 tank, and yesterday it used 3/8's of a tank for the same trip... this car and its fuel gauge is the only thing I hate.

And the car is stock, besides a shortened air silencer.

I avg 24-25 on my way back to Rochester, MN.

Jason congrats again on the award. BTW how are the brakes doing?

On one of my recent trips to Cleveland and back I averaged better than 24mpg w/ the ac on doing 80-100mph the entire way :O

Good, but I went to rotate the tires, took the wheels off and what did I find... a backing plate had slide sideways and was rubbing against the rotor!

I took the caliper back off and put the backing plate back on, hopefully it holds.
