My 2000 Acura TL requires premium gas. Great car but the price for premium is what you pay for the performance it provides. One of my fellow Acura owners did a fairly scientific study of the cost / b

Of course, many "experts" in the media are popping in with all sorts of recommendations on "saving fuel". One you hear them say a lot is " use cruise control". In my experience, with the exception of

The problem I find with cruise control aka snooze control, is that I set it for a specific speed and then before I know it, I have to switch it off because I come up on some slow-poke doing 90. Waste

I am not that surprised. A dozen years or so ago I found that my 1987 Duster with a 2.2-liter engine and 5-speed and an electronically controlled Holley progressive two-barrel carb (not exactly high-

"....use gross throttle adjustments" Yep. My experience exactly albeit with older equipment. Wonder in these days of digital tech whether the new stuff is better in this respect?? Cap'n Bob '60 :{)

Just to add to the discussion. My '03 Dodge Dakota gets better mileage on the mid grade than the "regular". About 2 - 3 MPG better in fact. I never ran the Premium gas so I have no idea the effect of

Well, my 2001 Dodge diesel dually's cruise isn't a fuel miser either (but I can get nearly 20 mpg or better on the highway with that truck, which is pretty amazing. 16 mpg around town, and 14 to 16 m

Nope! Merrily downshifts even a couple of gears on freeway hills! 5000 rpm in second at 65 mph isn't a real economy setting!! Pa -- Original Message -- From "Robert E. Shlafer" <pilotrob at webtv.net

Depending on the manufacture a lot has changed in the past ten or so years with cruise controls. On my '91 RV (Ford V8) I had to do the shifting or there would not be enough torque left to get up hil

"Dodge dually" gas mileage.... Not really bad at all considering what "it is" and most especially what it's towing. Cap'n Bob Basic Frog

Not surprising, Larry... same with my Frogeye and '85 GTi. Both can get by on 89PON but the Frog idles and runs a lot better (smoother) on 93, most especially during summer temps. The GTi "wakes up"

Try jacking up the back end of your truck... that way you're always going downhill. Should be worth a couple MPG. What's really amazing is that your drop when towing isn't more. Larry Daniels 79 MGB
