Carl, I'll concur.  My milage has always been horrific.  Granted, I
drive it like I hate it, but it's really bad. I'll guess 11 in the city
and low 20's on the highway.  This is with an 80MM Maf and LPM. Also,
the car is very well maintained and throws no codes.

Dave Kegel and I filled up rolling out of the convention in Tulsa a
couple of years ago and followed each other back to the Chicago area.
We averaged 90-100mph without traffic and made spirited WOT runs from 65
to 110 or so after getting caught behind traffic.  Point being, I needed
gas way before Dave did and when we refilled I needed another 1.5
gallons or so than he did to top off the tank.  I don't think the LPM
should effect highway mileage like that, but unless all 1.5 gallons were
lost on the spirited WOT runs, I don't know what else to attribute it
to??
