Sure wish I had OD. Just measured the mileage ont he last two tanks
of gas. One was driving back and forth to work for a week and so was
almost exclusively city driving. 28MPG. Sunday, I drove to a car
show (not LBC) as a spectator. Mostly Interstate. 30MPG. I love
driving to work for a week on $7 worth of gas instead of $35 (my other
car is a Grand Cherokee.)
