I drove       to work on the other side of the mountain and got 30 MPG. I typically get 27       MPG when I drive to work. The main difference was that I didn't use the AC.       Having the temperature        in the low 70's and no passengers and no stopping probably helps.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
