It inspires me to try harder to find out why i'm getting only about 15mpg [city/hwy combined]. One thing I've been researching in the Archives is cruise control. i expect to be doing quite a bit more highway driving this year than last, and hope that cruise control could save me some money. Then, i suppose i could move on to your other stragegies: "80 psi in the tires, 40 mph, hook up the propane tank to the intake manifold....:-)......." ;^) Thanks, and good luck on your trip to Winnipeg. Will be interested to hear the results, gail __________________________ Gail Fitzpatrick '87 GL Westi, 125k [Frieda] Sacramento, CA <redwood@speedlink.com> |
