Errr, I don't know if that will ever happen sir! I have been driving like this since I was 16 and with every new mod comes more reason to step into it!

I guess I will just accept that I will be filling up every week, like I have always been!

I fill up on average every 5 days, so I know your pain.

I guess coming from a V6 F150 when I was 16 didn't get me used to going fast a lot, unless it was downhill with a hurricane force tail wind.

I get about 19-20 with my daily commutes, which is about 75% city driving. I skip shift 1-4-6 all the time when just driving like an old man. I do also time to time get on it a bit during those commutes. My present round trip commute is about 25 miles daily. I work 3-4 days a week (depending on the week), so with here and there driving when I am off work I get about that same average each tank. Last week I did however drive to Muenster and back and drove to work 3 days and averaged 23.5. I averaged 26-27 doing 80-85 to and from muenster. You can get over 27 if you keep it around 70 and use cruise control. I also have 3:31 gears so that helps a bit in the fuel economy department.
